Isibaya actress not going to Hollywood yet
It could be a case of same script different cast. But South African actress Nomzamo Mbatha is not gunning for a Hollywood reality series just yet. Mbatha, who is networking in Los Angeles, is not the first local celebrity to try to make it internationally. In 2011 TV presenter Nonhle Thema was ridiculed and lambasted by fans for her reality series, Nonhle Goes to Hollywood. The series, which aired on DStv, showed Thema's attempts at making it in the cut-throat entertainment world.But, Mbatha, an Isibaya actress, is not in Los Angeles to garner a TV deal just yet. She is there to meet TV network bosses and talent managers for advice and acting coaches for lessons.She is also there for a photo shoot with a celebrity glam team that has worked with Keke Palmer, Brandy, Monica and actress Taraji P Henson."I've always been one to work ahead. So, that's exactly what I'm doing ... [My image] will definitely be different. I want to send a different feel this year. More Nubian but more free and liberal," says Mbatha...
