Lead role for local actress
Ntshangase is originally from Gamalakhe and has previously landed a lead role on Mzansi Magic's DiepCity.
South Coast actress Nozuko Ntshangase recently bagged a lead role in Mzansi Magic’s latest drama series S’phiwo.
It will premiere on Dstv channel 161 on January 8, 2024.
Ntshangase is originally from Gamalakhe and has previously landed a lead role on Mzansi Magic’s DiepCity.
In July, Ntshangase’s agent Canvas CAM announced that the actress had a lead role in a new drama series without mentioning its name.
The agent said the story with Ntshangase has the holy spirit written all over it.
“Nozuko was not originally selected to audition for this, but something in my spirit said Nope! They have to see her for this. Come hell or high water, I told Thuli to send her the brief anyway and slip her tape in with the rest of the selected artists. When she got the call back, we knew that that was the holy spirit nudge to send her through. The rest, as they say, is history. Congratulations Nozuko. We can’t wait to see you take this role on and soar,” said the agent.
The producers of S’phiwo said the drama series offers a unique viewpoint through the connected lives of two extraordinary girls destined to fulfil a legacy much greater than themselves.
They described the show as one of self-discovery, a battle against unseen forces, and proof of the idea that everyone is connected in profound ways.
They explained that the premiere episode will introduce Nothando, vibrant and eager to experience university life to its fullest, and Zodwa, a young sangoma whose spiritual depth and seriousness make her stand out from the crowd.
They added that an unexpected rooming mishap brings their worlds together, triggering a series of incidents that reveal the undeniable power of their connection.
“The drama intensifies with a murder mystery on campus that draws them closer to their true calling – a bond destined by the ancestors. With a cast led by Zeno Maseko as Nothando and Nozuko Ncayiyane as Zodwa, along with Sabelo Nkosi as Solomzi, Ngele Ramulondi as Takalani, and Obakeng Makube playing Nathi, S’phiwo is going to become a highlight of Monday night television,” they said.
Taking to social media about the new role, Ntshangase said: “God! I think it is safe to say I am leading-lady material.”
