SIPHESIHLE Vazi has bid farewell to The Queen.
The presenter and actor told Daily Sun he had the most amazing time on set.
He said he is grateful for all the challenges that came with his role on Mzansi Magic’s telenovela The Queen.
The show is coming to an end.
“Being on The Queen has been one of those ‘it’s a dream come true’ stories. I’ve always wanted to be on a soapie and play a lead role,” he said.
Siphesihle said The Queen came at the right time.
“I first auditioned for Cebo’lihle Khoza, which was my preferred choice. This is because I felt like I hadn’t exercised my acting muscle enough for me to take on a role like Mlungisi,” he said.

Siphesihle said little did he know that Ferguson Films had more faith in him than he had imagined.
“Playing Mlungisi Khoza has given me so much confidence as an actor,” he said.
The actor said he also proved that there’s no right or wrong in performance, as long as you stay true to your choices as an actor you’ll be fine.

Siphesihle said he is grateful for the opportunity the production team, including other actors, gave him on set.
“This is because when we auditioned it was around the same time Collision (Netflix film) was making waves around the world. That’s when I knew that I’m closer to living my dreams as well,” Siphesihle said.
He said his role on The Queen has helped him grow in the film and television industry.
“Right now I’m looking at doing theatre and focusing on running my production house, Red Socks Production. And if God allows I’m hoping to bag another life-changing role,” he said.
He said there is more coming from him and his fans should look out for more.
The actor said young people who look up to him must never give up on their dreams and should always know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
“Stay true to yourself and your feelings. Take care of your mental health and look after those that look after you,” he said.
