“Duduzile is such a beast, I like to call her the savage, she’s fancy, boujee, and also very nasty.”

PLAYING MISS MANZI ON ‘GOMORA’  

Ndaba says that transitioning from Miss Manzi to Dudu hasn’t been easy as she’s still trying to figure out who Dudu is.   

She played the role of Miss Manzi who was one of the most hated characters on Gomora season one.   

Viewers criticised her character, Miss Manzi for raping her high school learner, Teddy, and not taking responsibility for her actions. 

“The backlash of my previous character mostly happened on social media but Thank God for masks.” 

“I was able to avoid being attacked for that character I played.”  

The actress believes that her Gomora role was important as it educated people in the community about GBV (Gender-based violence) and that it can happen to boys and men too.
