Uzalo Actress Thuthuka Mthembu graduate

Uzalo actress Thuthuka Mthembu is a graduate.She has completed her degree at Afda, where she majored in motion picture and television production.

“To say I was excited would be an understatement. I was happy because I really worked hard and I am glad all the effort and hard work I put in paid off at the end,” said Thuthuka, who plays Nonkanyiso on the show.

She told Daily Sun said completing the degree wasn’t easy.

“Last year was very testing academically as there was a lot of self-motivation that needed to happen as learning was altered due to the Covid-19 pandemic. But I am grateful for all the support I received.”

She started her degree in 2017 and explained why it took long to complete.

“Finding the balance between work and studying wasn’t easy. I didn’t want to take on a lot at the same time as I wanted to be fully focused on delivering at school and in acting.”

“I decided to take a break from school, which helped a lot as when I went back the following year, I knew what I was getting myself into and was able to shine.”
