Nambitha Ben-Mazwi back on screen in an action-packed drama series next month

Multiple-award winner Nambitha Ben-Mazwi cannot wait to star in her first Showmax original drama series, Empini, which premiers next month. She will be leading the cast alongside award-winning legendary actor, Siyabonga Thwala, who plays Khaya Bhodoza, a prominent businessperson and political stalwart.

Speaking to City Press on Wednesday while she was on set of the upcoming action-packed series, the excited Ben-Mazwi said she had prayed for this role. She portrays Ndoni Themba, a deeply troubled private security bodyguard in search of answers.I want all of these networks we are independent contractors. I’ve been wanting to break into Showmax and it just happened at the right time, with the right project and with a role I have been manifesting and praying for.

I am excited for the audience to see and meet Ndoni Themba and just see the other side of me through this. She is a deeply traumatised, troubled, young woman, very relatable. I always like to strip every character I have down to the humanity level and really see who this little girl is. You meet Ndoni Themba 15 years after a traumatic event in her life. So you meet someone who is broken, just trying to put the pieces together.“She has obstacles and she’s out for vengeance.

Ben-Mazwi has worked a lot with Clive Morris Productions and considered the team as family because she had grown with them.On working with Thwala, the Global Citizen ambassador said she was happy they both could bounce off each other’s energy. She described him as"a sincere actor who fights for his character because he wants to tell an honest story". And that's what they had in common, she added.

The action-paced 52-episode drama series, set in the dangerous world of private VIP security, premiers on Showmax on 23 May.Who we choose to trust can have a profound impact on our lives.
