Nomzamo Mbatha’s letter to ‘Shaka iLembe’ actresses

South African actress Nomzamo Mbatha penned a note to the women on Shaka iLembe TV drama.

The Coming 2 America actress who plays Nandi in the series took it upon herself to celebrate women as Women’s Month ends.

Taking to her Instagram, the prouder left a heartwarming letter to the women on Shaka iLembe, saying:  

“For the longest time, history had only told the narrow gaze of how the world viewed ‘her’. Yet, the deepest quest was to find how she viewed the world, what she thought of it, what she saw herself become of it and how she planned on shaping it. Leaving her mark… forever changed,” she wrote. 

She ended off by encouraging women to never be afraid to showcase every part that comes with being a woman.  

“As we close off Women’s Month this August… I hope we honour the women inside of us. The brave parts, the afraid parts, the full parts, the empty parts… the alive parts. Happy Women’s Month to all who recognise and celebrate it. I celebrate them. I celebrate YOU,” she concluded.

Many people were touched by Nomzamo’s post as they flooded her comments section.

Actress Sthandiwe Kgoroge wrote: “What a leader you are Shandu ka Ndaba! Ume njalo, iNkosi iqhubeke ikwandisele!Wena weSilo!Bayede!??.”

A fan also took to the star’s comments section to express her sadness as the series comes to an end.

“My only problem with this series is that it ends this Sunday, well it’s season finale. Separation anxiety is creeping in. Sizoba yina?.”

The fan continued by saying:

“What a time to be alive. Our own stories being told by our own people in our beautiful rich language. Y’all did an amazing job. We are all so proud of you all❤️?.”
