Siphesihle Ndaba On How She Landed Her Role on Gomora
Siphesihle Ndaba On How She Landed Her Role on Gomora. A lot of times people are afraid of taking up certain opportunities because the feel inadequate. Siphesihle Cee Cee Ndaba almost became a statistic with regards to joining the cast of Gomora.
The award winning actress, model and influencer burst into the scene as one of the cast members of Gomora, a television drama series produced by Seriti Films. She plays the character of Mazet, a young woman who is surviving the streets of Alexandra, thanks to her street smart ways and the company she keeps. Siphesihle fits well in the role, and we can’t think of anyone better that her to play Mazet.
What many people don’t know though is that Siphesihle almost fumbled this opportunity. Just like most hopefuls, she saw the advert for the role on Instagram, and since she was a fresh graduate, decided to try her luck. When she saw some talented personalities at the auditions, Siphesihle chickened out and contemplated on going back home.
Luckily for her, she had second thoughts about abandoning the auditions. Siphesihle wondered what she was going to say to her mother, who would want to know how the audition went.
“Lol I knew all she’d hear is “Mama, I wasted your taxi money”. [We all know hell hath no fury like a black mother whose money is played with],” she said.
That gave her the push to go back inside and try her luck. Even though she thought the odds were against her since she had no experience, Siphesihle got four call backs, and eventually the role.
“Moral of the story: DO NOT LET IMPOSTER SYNDROME CHEAT YOU OUT OF YOUR DESTINY,” she concluded.
