It was on 12 March 2013 when I first came across the young, dimpled beauty named Nomzamo Mbathaduring the launch of popular telenovela, Isibaya. She looked naïve and almost out of depth – she was about to be thrust into the limelight at the tender age of 22. It was her smile that caught my eye. I remember telling some of the Mansi Magic managers on that day that I had just witnessed the birth of a star. Coincidentally, that star has followed her throughout her life.
MY GUIDING LIGHT
“I have always attracted neighbours and strangers alike who would randomly say: ‘iNkosi ikubeke ngane yami’ (God bless you, my child). I remember this one time while walking from the bus stop to school, and an old coloured lady stopped me and said: ‘My child I don’t know you, but something just told me to share with you that you are going to be something important. I may never see you again, but I will pray for you.’ These incidences have always made me aware that there’s a higher power walking with me, watching over me and protecting me. But, the one thing I knew I needed to lean on mostly was intuition and discernment as those two elements are key to living a full and authentic life from within. Over the years, I have come to protect my light; learnt to live in it with grace, and not be overt about basking in it. Yes, it is good to let it shine because I, too, have been inspired by others in how they live within their spiritual light,” Nomzamo shares.
