The Kwazulu Natal-bred actress plays the role of Bazothini in the new Mzansi Magic drama series Isifiso. In Isifiso, the Bazothini or Bazo role is a cunning character who initially comes across as a humble and troubled sibling. During the debut episode of Isifiso, Bazo faces criticism from her mother, Mangobese (Duduzile Ngcobo). She is often castigated for marrying a poor husband, Mhlengi (Ntando Mncube) and compared to her younger sister Nobuhle (Mbalenhle Mthembu) who was married to a more affluent husband, Siboniso (Melusi Yeni). Despite working hard for her family, Bazo’s efforts went unrecognized by her mother. Mangobese mocked her daughter’s promotion to supervisor post at work and arranged that she becomes a maid at her younger sister’s house.
