Actress Mbalenhle Mavimbela, who plays the role of Nothile says playing the character on the educational soapie Skeem Saam, hasn't been hard for her.

--

She says she enjoys stepping into the character's shoes because just like her character, she always stands up for herself and speaks her mind.

Mavimbela also told Daily Sun that playing a villain is emotionally taxing especially with her Skeem Saam character, who isn't an obvious villain.

She is always smiling and calm, so that takes a toll.

The KwaZulu-Natal-born actress says viewers will be blown away by her character in the next few days.
