Zikhona Sodlaka, a fan favourite in Two Showmax Origianal Series's The Wife and Blood Psalms
The Mthatha-born actress has already earned DStv Mzansi Viewers’ Choice Award and SAFTA nominations this year for her fan-favourite role as Mandisa in The Wife, Showmax’s most popular series ever. Now she’s also stealing scenes in the African fantasy epic Blood Psalms, which had the most first-day views of any drama on Showmax ever. In Blood Psalms , she plays Sithenjwa, the mistress of Senator Jabari (SAFTA and Africa Movie Academy Awards nominee Richard Lukunku) of the mighty Great Nziwemabwe. She’s traveling with him to the Akachi citadel for the upcoming wedding of King Letsha (four time SAFTA winner Mothusi Magano), but she has her own reasons for attending.
