The funny actress said her character would definitely make people laugh. "I play a very interesting role," she said.
"Unlike in Izoso Connection, this time around I play a character who will show people my funny side. I play the role of a domestic worker but after hours I teach adults isiZulu."

While teaching themselves isiZulu, they learn to overcome their prejudices and cultural beliefs to communicate with each other.
