Known for her bravery as a car hijacker on Mzansi Magic’s Gomora, actress Siphesihle Ndaba says she has learned a lot about herself through watching films.
The talented actress, Siphesihle Ndaba, plays the role of Mazet in the telenovela and also shares her career ambitions in arts.
As she sees herself as an artistic person, the 25-year-old is the proud holder of a Bachelor of Social Science, Psychology, Economics, and Drama as well as a BSS (Hons) in Dramatic Arts.
Reflecting on her skills in front of the camera, Ndaba is paying attention to other people’s behaviour.
“Mazet is the Kasi girl next door. I know her. If you’ve ever been or lived in the township, you know of a Mazet,” she says to Drum.
“When we shoot in Alexandra township, I meet different types of people and I met a girl who is a Mazet, street smart, pretty but also daring. So, Mazet is a real person, she exists.”
Siphesihle also drew inspiration from some family members who add to her character, saying her uncles and brothers inspired her.
“I also took pieces from people around me. My uncles, my brothers, and my aunts. I took parts of them, and I created this person from people I had access to,” she added.
For Ndaba who was born and bred in Soweto, she is the granddaughter of Mzilikazi James Khumalo, one of the composers of the South African national anthem.
“Working on Gomora has been an amazing journey,” she continued.
“It’s nice to be in a space that allows you to grow. I learn something new everyday on set. More than anything, when I am in the studio I grasp as much as I can and talk to as many people as I can, I become a sponge, go in there and learn.
“In many film sets, you just shoot and leave, but with us, there’s a lot of time to conversate and learn what I can fix and try to master. I sit and ask questions.”
The publication reports that the skilled and educated thespian recently announced that she graduated with her second degree at Rhodes University.
