Popular South African actress Brenda Ngxoli shot to fame when she played Vuyo in Home Affairs. But the bubbly actress is hardly seen on TV screens these days. It’s alleged she’s frustrated and feels cancelled by the industry.A source close to the actress said she’s outspoken and vocal on issues, which could be the reason for her not finding work.

“Brenda is one of the underrated actors in the country. Looking at her phenomenal talent, you’d expect her to be on most shows. One thing about her, she’s vocal and takes no nonsense. Wrong her, and she’ll call you out. That woman can’t pretend as if everything is right,” said the source.In 2016, Brenda flooded X, formerly known as Twitter, with posts expressing her unhappiness on Uzalo set.

 

 

 

She was scheduled to play a mad woman, Patjutju, but couldn’t stand what she called “looming exploitation”.

“I felt exploitation was coming my way and left. I now know producers love you when you’re a slave and stupid,” Brenda wrote on X in 2016.Another source said Brenda doesn’t offer favours when she’s asked to.

“Part of the acting industry is dirty. Some secure jobs because they’ve done favours. And Brenda believes in her talent. For her, it’s only her talent that secures her a job.

“It’s a known fact that a vocal person has a slim chance of finding a job. So, Brenda is frustrated now because she thinks the industry has cancelled her. But she still sticks to her beliefs that she’s not going to sell her soul by doing favours to get a job,” added the source.

But Brenda said she’s not frustrated because she knows why it’s difficult for her to land roles.

“I can’t be silenced. I speak my mind and there are some things I won’t do to get a job. I’ve been victimised on some sets because of my behaviour and what I believe in. The industry can cancel me, but I won’t change who I am,” said Brenda.

The actress played Noma on Mzansi Magic’s The Queen and Brigadier Nandi Donga on the Netflix’s iNumber Number.

“We feel we need to do some fun stuff individually, and we’ll always go back. I’m excited about that.”Journey with Mafikizolo

Mafikizolo is celebrating 27 years this year, and Nhlanhla said it’s been a long but beautiful journey.

“It’s really been a beautiful journey. Obviously, we had a lot of life experiences as well. There were times when there were hardships, and we were in pain when we lost our third member, Tebogo Madingoane. There were times we were happy, really happy, especially when we got our big break into the industry.“Little did we know that two years later, we would lose Tebogo. Obviously, there are challenges, especially when you’re a band. Sometimes, there’re disagreements, but at the end of the day, we do what we love, and we have respect for each other. We have that sibling relationship, though we argue. Every argument comes from respect and love, not about being better. It’s always been about having a common goal which is to always grow Mafikizolo,” she said.Nhlanhla said the trick to remaining relevant is to be humble.

“We never feel like now we’ve arrived and have made it. We’re always looking for new opportunities and new sounds. How to reinvent ourselves in our image and sound. It makes the journey interesting.”The singer is also focusing on building her brand and running her clothing business, NN Vintage. She’s also looking into growing her business.

“We’re growing, as NN vintage. I’m excited about the Shweshwe swimsuit range we’re currently working on. Soon we’ll be introducing a male range to check the market. It’s always been in the pipeline, but I’ve been waiting for the right time. I know it’s been many years, but the fashion industry isn’t easy.

“I thought because I’m Nhlanhla from Mafikizolo, people would buy my clothes, but it was a different story. I had to give the range some time so that I could get customers,” she said.What’s new?

Nhlanhla has also been in the studio. She featured musical trio Encore on their new single titled Injabulo.

“The song feels like a beautiful summer love, where you just feel like you’ve found someone new, the love is new, and everything is new. My part of the song was inspired by my love life right now. So, that verse came naturally. I wrote about my person. I thought about how I feel about him, and I put it down into words,” Nhlanhla said.

I don’t feel the need to be seen as much, to party as much.But I ‘m more interested in building for my family and being a great role model for my son. My lifestyle has calmed down a bit.
