The actress is honoured to embark on this exciting new path.
Having studied in Japan, her knowledge of the country in East Asia has positioned her as the ideal ambassador to be a bridge between South Africa and Japan.
“Being appointed by the Ambassador of Japan as Brand Japan Ambassador is a full circle moment for me. I had the opportunity to experience Japan as a student and I discovered an entirely different world. It’s such an honor to now be in a position to represent the beautifully rich and colorful Japanese culture to South Africa,” she says.
Her duties will commence on 21 September 2018 when she will travel to Japan to meet with Japanese role players in areas such as entertainment, tourism and public services.
She will also work on strengthening Japan’s ties with South Africa and to showcase Japan’s culture to South Africans.
“Japanese culture is filled with intrigue and mysteries of age old traditions. The art form in their expressions of fashion, motion pictures, and language is something I would love all South Africans to embrace,” she says.
“I’m looking forward to my Japan trip in September and meeting key stakeholders and adding great value as the first Brand Japan Ambassador. Japan’s fashion, motion pictures, and language is something that I would love to share with my fellow South Africans.”
