VETERAN actress Linda Sebezo’s acting career spans more than three decades and she is not about to stop. The award winning actress says she has been passionate about acting since she was a little girl growing up in Soweto. The 53-year old Isibaya actress, who believes that acting is her calling, says even though her parents were initially worried about her taking up acting as a career, they eventually accepted it.

REACHING FOR HER DREAMS

She says it was after her father saw her perform in one of the late playwright Gibson Kente’s plays that he allowed her to follow her passion. “My parents wanted me to be a nurse because they felt that there is no money in showbiz and they somehow equated it to prostitution. But when my father first saw me perform, he cried and admitted that I had talent for this,” she recalls.
