I'm still young in the industry and have big dreams. I don't want to lose focus that's why I ignore all the inboxes on social media of men who want to go out with me.

Ngcobo adds that the fame she gained from playing Hlelo has attracted attention from men.

Some say they find me attractive while others say they find me intelligent. Men say a lot of good things. Well, I choose to ignore it because I don't want to find myself in a compromising position. I know what I want and I work hard to get it.
