AFTER playing her first leading role in one of Mzansi’s most loved telenovelas, Gomora, she is ready to show Mzansi what she's all about.
Actress Siphesihle Ndaba will be showcasing her acting skills in a new dark comedy series on Mzanzi Magic called Killer Front Page, where she'll play the role of Palesa.
Palesa is a breathtaking journalist who wants to be a TV news anchor like Noxolo Grootboom and own a news channel like Thabile Ngwato.
Siphesihle said that she was excited when she got the role.
“I was excited to step into something new and play a different character with different personalities and characteristics of the character I played before which is Mazet on Gomora."
She said that she has learnt a lot from her new character.

“I’ve learnt that people who are vindictive, dark, and harmful aren’t always people lurking in the shadows at night hiding behind the bush. Sometimes they are people who smile at you every day,” Siphesihle said.
She said the only challenge she got acting the new character was walking in heels.
“Palesa wears heels every day and Mazet never wore heels in her life. To be on set for 12 hours in heels is the most difficult thing and I respect corporate girls now."
Siphesihle said that after playing the first TV show she did with Gomora, she wants her fans to braise themselves for her next role.
“What I want people to take from the show is the idea of the leap of faith. Not just in the story but the production itself being created. Killer Front Page is the first ever dark comedy in South Africa.
“I'm grateful for the support a lot of us in the film industry are who we are because of the people who watch our shows and who continue to support us,” she said.
