Isibaya actress Michelle Mosalakae fears nothing - not even the ‘it girl’ tag

Actress Michelle Mosalakae has lit up screens on Isibiya and the star is ready for the world to know her name.

Michelle, who plays the role of a mysterious healer who appeared 'out of the blue'  in the Mzansi Magic drama series, said that she auditioned for several roles but was shocked to get a call back from Isibaya.

"I had a couple of auditions, which included Isibaya, but I was still shocked when I got called again. Because I am fresh from school, being on productions like Isibaya is a dream you think will happen later in your career," she said.
