Body positivity activist shares her story on reality show
Her presence is present enough.
Siphelele Ndaba (40) has made her debut on a reality TV show, The Queens of Mzansi on SABC 1.
A resident of Port Shepstone for 18 years, she is a mother to an eight year old girl, a sister to four siblings, a daughter and a body positivity activist.
When Siphelele enters a room, you know she has arrived.
With her bubbly and loud personality, she is very visible but most of all her sense of fashion makes her stand out.
“I am vibrant, loud, highly opinioned and I love people. When you see me you won’t miss me,” said Siphelele.
The Queens of Mzansi is about young women who are divorced or single, women who have been through a lot and are rebuilding their lives again.
When asked how she got on the show she said she thinks it is her social media presence, and also her being a body positivity activist and sharing her story on social media.
She got married at the age of 27 and divorced in 2017. A month after she got divorced, her ex-husband became ill and passed away.
She will be sharing more than just her divorce story on the show.
“I wish somebody would have told me the things that I experienced in my marriage before I got married. I wish somebody would have told me that marriage is good but there are pitfalls.”
Siphelele said she comes from a strong Christian family and therefore does not advocate for divorce, however, she advocates for mental health wellness for everyone.
The show will focus on her daily life at home and her side jobs.
She said the experience has been great and she has learnt a lot of things, but it has also been a lot of work.
She works for Ugu Municipality but said she did not want to share that on the show because she respects her working space.
