Ayanda Borotho has starred in many shows, but it's her new character on a new drama series who she said challenged her.
She plays Vakashile Buthelezi in Mzansi Magic's uZulu noMhlaba, a 13-episode drama that premiered on Sunday (October 30).
Taking to Instagram the actress revealed how she had difficulties with her character but learnt to love her.
“The secret about secrets ... is that everyone has them. This was a challenging character for me. Vakashile Buthelezi threw me completely out of my comfort zone. But once I found her, I fell in love with her. I'm also so excited for the new talent that is part of uZulu noMhlaba,” she wrote.
The series tells the story of two maskandi artists who engage in a brutal feud over music — only to discover they are more closely linked than they could have imagined.
