MAZET IS A KASI GIRL NEXT DOOR' The two-time graduate and actress Siphesihle Ndab, who plays the role of fan-favourite character Mazet a township car highjacker in the telenovela Gomora opens up about her role in an interview with Drum Magazine.

Mazet is the Kasi girl next door. I know her. If you've ever been or lived in the township, you know of a Mazet, she says.
Ndaba adds that she's watched people's behaviour in the township to build make her role believable.
When we shoot in Alexandra township, I meet different types of people and I met a girl who is a Mazet, street smart, pretty but also daring. So, Mazet is a real person, she exists. I also took pieces from people around me. My uncles, my brothers, and my aunts. I took parts of them, and I created this person from people I had access to.
that awkward moment at home when Mazet throw that panty on that table everyone look at me as if I was the director of this scene #Gomora pic.twitter.com/WaTNRKjceg

WORKING ON GOMORA HAS BEEN AMAZING' Ndaba, who got her big break in the Mzansi Magic telenovela Gomora adds that she learns something new about acting.
Working on Gomora has been an amazing journey. It's nice to be in a space that allows you to grow. I learn something new everyday onset. More than anything, when I am in the studio I grasp as much as I can and talk to as many people as I can, I become a sponge, go in there and learn, she says.
In many film sets, you just shoot and leave, but with us, there's a lot of time to conversate and learn what I can fix and try to master. I sit and ask questions. Before Gomora, she was studying and working on some theatre productions.
The 25-year-old actress was born and bred in Soweto, Johannesburg and matriculated from the Oprah Academy Leadership School and graduated from Rhodes University, where she received her Bachelor of Social Science, Psychology, Economics, and Drama as well as BSS (Hons) in Dramatic Arts.
Education is very important to me, it's the heart of what I do, she says.
