MZANSI APPLAUD NELISA MCHUNU Isifiso scriptwriter Chris Q. Radebe took to his Instagram to share the self-tape that scored the former Uzalo and SesTop'La actress Nelisa Mchunu for the role of the villainous Bazothini in Mzansi Magic's Isifiso.
In a lengthy post, the actor-writer Chris revealed why he chose her to play the character.

The time was 8.40 pm. I stopped everything and went on the WhatsApp group. I told my colleagues this was our Bazothini and not one of them disagreed. I've been a fan of Nelisa's since the first time I saw her on Uzalo.
Chris said Nelisa's character may not have been particularly emotionally demanding but her talent was hard to miss.
It was the scenes where she didn't have dialogue that stood out. Many people struggle in scenes where they don't have lines. But I'm yet to see an actor that's more present in every scene.

Bazo is not the one nor the two not as a sister, wife or daughter. #Isifiso
But do you think she has made a lot of enemies now?
