I serve no greater God, He blesses and loves me even thou I don't deserve it pic.twitter.com/GyZE9WN2WA— Asanda Foji (@assyfojy) April 15, 2016async Talking to TMG Entertainment‚ Asanda revealed that after leaving Generations‚ she worked on several small roles for six months before landing her latest gig.“I really thought it wouldn’t take this long. I’m surprised it took so long. I kept thinking that God had led me out of Generations so that I could take another role a week or two later but it didn’t happen. But I kept praying and drawing strength from God. I didn’t want to be a statistic. And so I worked on some smaller projects and even returned to theatre for a bit‚ but eventually this role came around and this one is big‚” she says.“This new role is a great blessing from God. He always comes through for me.”Although Asanda refuses to reveal the name of the show she is working on‚ she says fans will once again see her playing the role of a bride.“I am playing the role of a bride. I always play the role of a bride. I think it’s a sign. God must be telling me something‚” she laughs...
