Content Creator, Mihlali Ndamase, 25, recently bagged a role on Showmax film, Boxing Day, alongside acting giants Zola Nombona, S’thandiwe Kgoroge, Phumlani Magadla and Hamilton Dlamini. Directed by Black Brain Films co-founder Mandla N, the film is about a poor family that has lost their grandmother and cannot afford to bury her in a dignified manner.
This is not Mihlali’s first acting gig, last year, she had a stint on e.tv’s Rhythm City.

Someone once said, “Do not limit yourself to one thing. Try anything and everything and If you fail, move onto the next.”
While others may agree, not everyone on social media is excited for the influencer getting an acting role while “qualified actors sit at home.”

Mihlali is a good actor the problem is that y'all are comparing her to the likes of me and obviously that puts unnecessary pressure to her, I would to be the first celebrity to congratulate her on her new role.

Hayi sisi, I know Mihlali is your fave but please be neutral, yingxaki lento of influencers getting acting gigs when there are actors who even graduated that aren't given opportunities. https://t.co/16FXN9oQms

As South Africans we are the one’s driving this trend. Let’s do better & support creativity instead of popularity. Cause in all honesty Mihlali didn’t do anything wrong. She was given an opportunity based on how we as consumers react to popular faces.
