Hlubi Mboya

Hlubi is, in my opinion, one of South Africas best actresses, in fact to hell with that, one of the worlds best. Amongst other roles, she’s on a hit television soapie called Isidingo and plays the role of Nandipha, an HIV positive woman. Hlubi also does loads of charity work for the world food program and for reach for a dream. She grew up with a big family in Cape Town, loved school and did extremely well, but adds that she “never made it to head girl”. After high school she studied at UCT and majored in third world politics and labour law. Then in her fourth year and to her parent’s scepticism, she dropped out to follow her dream becoming an actress. Lady luck was on her side, here we go…

“Now that I’m an actress, I find myself a third world politician and a labour lawyer in my art”. Power to you girl, here's her advice to anyone trying to crack it in whatever their real passion be… 
“I’m a lover of Africa, I’m a lover of South Africa, and I’m proud of being proudly South African”. Thank you so much Hlubes and well said, we end with her view of Africa's politics…
P.S. Don’t worry Hlubes, who ever did make head girl that year has nothing on you now :)
