Thembisa Mdoda-Nxumalo Dedicates Her Latest Gig To Her Late Mum

Actress and TV presenter Thembisa Mdoda-Nxumalo who won a contract at ‘Showmax thriller series Dam’ has dedicated her win to her late mom.

Recall that her mother passed away 10 years ago, Thembisa took to her Instagram to describe how stunning her childhood was because of her late mom.

Taking a trip down the memory lane, Thembisa described her late mom as a “ninja for her kids”. 

“My mom was a ninja for her kids. She would stay up in her car to listen to my sister Anele’s show when she started out on the graveyard shift.

“She would watch my plays at least five times. [She] called me by my character names for weeks after. Sports, local and provincial, madam was front and centre.”

While she’s excited to be in the new thriller series, Thembisa said it made her emotional whenever she achieved such a career milestone as her mom was not physically around to celebrate her wins. 

“I miss her so much on days like these. #DamSeries starts today on Showmax. So proud to be part of this. Thank you mom, you are constantly fighting. I can feel it. Camagu Qengeba. Siyaqhuba.”
