Zamani Mbatha

"Just like any other life, you know you make it and then it’s trials and tribulations, it’s learning and unlearning"

"My journey has been beautiful because I have managed to find myself. I always choose the positive side of everything and that has worked in my favour."

"Struggling’ only for a lack of a better word. In this industry, it happens that you have work and then you don’t."

"One of the things my sister [Nomzamo Mbatha] taught me was, ‘The eye that you look at life with, is how your life will be.’ This has helped me envision my life. I think because I work hard it will not be easy for me to fall on hard times."

"People will understand, accept, and open their hearts that when we tell our stories the way they are, in the most authentic way, they come out beautifully. We should always open our hearts to learn and unlearn. This is a show that teaches us about our history. We have to appreciate our past."
