She is young, black, beautiful and immensely talented so you know we had to put her on this. In case you don’t know who Zikhona Bali is, she is an actress who is best known for her portrayal of Ziyanda in Mfolozi Street, a SABC 1 drama series.
The beauty holds a diploma in Media Studies and Journalism at Boston Media House. She has worked as a photographer, writer as well as a marketing and PR assistant. Beauty and brains I tell you!
Her other roles include Palesa in the Mzansi Magic soapie Zabalaza and the SABC 2 sitcom, Gauteng Maboneng as Anda. She also guest starred in the e.tv series Umlilo and soapie Rhythm City. All this happened back in 2015.
Last year proved to be a great year for the incredible actress as she was cast as the lead in a short story titled Thula Thula for e.tv’s eKasi: Our Stories.
She was also cast in the Mzansi Magic teen drama, Is’thunzi, her first starring role as Londiwe. The show has been praised as a breathe of fresh air in the way that it was able to tackle sensitive issues that South Africans face on the daily. It has been rated up there with legendary shows such as Soul City and Home Affairs- now that is major. Bali’s performance on the show was also hailed as great and compelling.
The show recently ended but we can confidently say that we see a bright future for this young starlet.
Is she worthy to be our #WCW for today? Let us know.
