Angela is a theatre arts graduate from the University of Botswana.

Speaking about joining the soapie, Angela said she loves challenges and that viewers will love her.

“I am excited to work with the incredibly creative and generous cast and crew. It’s all been beyond anything I could have imagined. The love is real,” said Angela.
