ZIKHONA BALI, A South African born Actress and a very talented creative. My fellow readers I'm pretty much sure that you all know her from Mzansi Magic's TV drama - Diepcity on channel 161 DSTV which airs every Monday to Friday at 20h30.

I'm pretty sure we can all agree that Zikhona is a phenomenal actress who plays her role very well. I am currently taken by the shift in her role as she is now playing a drug-addicted pastor's wife. I have to mention that she is killing the role and she is doing so with all her being. She is definitely a reflection of her second name Bali, which is a Xhosa word for 'Story', she is a Storyteller indeed. I love how she portrays the character making shift from being a sweet, God-fearing and caring partner and friend to a drug-addict. I love how she is dressed in this role and how she tells the stories of so many black young women who end up in the life of drugs because of the challenges that they face in their lives.

Zikhona deserves her flowers whilst she can still smell them and as a matter of fact, she deserves a Hollywood walk of fame as she is setting the bar high with her beautiful and authentic talent. As a South African I am very proud to be of the same citizenship as such a wonderful and phenomenal human being who continues to shine and aim for the skies. I pray that God blesses her with nothing but light, peace, love, prosperity and more blessings upon blessings.

To Zikhona : Umsebenzi wakho mhle kakhulu mntase, I enjoy watching you and feeling you going through all the emotions in your character. UThixo akongezele amathamsanqa sis wam. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift with us.

Enkosi!!!!
