Muvhango’s Azwi Rambuda On Why Casting Agencies Used To Reject Her

Muvhango’s Azwi Rambuda On Why Casting Agencies Used To Reject Her. She is talented, educated and beautiful, all the qualities that will push her ahead in the industry. Unfortunately though for Azwi Rambuda, she used to be rejected a lot by casting agencies.

The actress wanted to jump into work straight after university. She tried to join some well known casting agencies but sadly got turned down. “I’d get rejected for only one reason. “We like you, BUT how do we cover that scar?” This question was on the lips of each and very agent I met. It’s just a birthmark,” I’d say with an innocent smile. Your birthmark won’t get you jobs, sorry we can’t take you.” To hear all these after years of drama school and performance training killed me inside,” she said.

Being the religious woman she is, Azwi then took up the matter with God through prayer. “I prayed a simple prayer, Daddy you gave me a beautiful talent, please help me showcase it. And may your glory be seen. Right there in asking him. He made a way, I found myself in open auditions, no agency involved! Today, I’m an actress. An actress with a beautiful birthmark. Marked by God, Azwi shared her inspirational story.

Now she is one of the main characters on the SABC II drama, Muvhango. Talk about turning lemons to a lemonade!
