Role Model

Nomzamo Mbatha - Township to Tinsel Town, Imposter Syndrome & Classism in South Africa

Listen on

Episode notes

Nomzamo Mbatha embodies the essence of a role model. Born in a township in South Africa, she dreamt of making it big in this world from an early age. Through hard work and determination she became an accountant, but the universe had other ideas and now she is acting alongside Hollywood ICONS like Eddie Murphy in Coming 2 America. Nomzamo tells Leomie how she dealt with discrimination, why marriage is NOT for her and how she manages imposter syndrome on the global stage.


Listen out for tips on how to fake it till you make it and crucially, how to be ‘the best loser’.
