ZIKHONA BALI LEAVES DIEP CITY' The actress Zikhona Bali, who joined DiepCity two years ago to play Pastor Charleston's (Chrispen Nyathi) girlfriend Asanda told Sowetan in 2022.
If it were up to me, I wouldn't be leaving DiepCity and a character I grew to love. But I understand that it's the end of the road for Asanda much like all storylines. I've never played the role of a pastor's side chick who's a criminal; with that role, I had to navigate my feelings on how best to execute Asanda to viewers as authentic as possible. Asanda is dearly loved by those around her because at first, she seemed sweet and angelic only to turn out the exact opposite.
Her character currently battles drug addiction and gets involved in dodgy dealings with Charleston.
She gets caught up in the land of dodgy dealings with her pastor boyfriend and battling drug addiction how she'll exit the show will certainly shake viewers. I've loved acting on the set, I've loved the people I worked with on the show and playing Asanda, but now I have to step away and find Zikhona again.
