We’re a bit late on this but Zimbabwe-born actress Chiedza ‘Chi’ Mhende has gone where no other actress on South African television has gone.
She is the first woman ever to play a man on television following her portrayal of Wandile on Generations: The Legacy.
The role created a huge conversation on the social media zeitgeist, when it surfaced. She plays Wandile a man struggling with his sexuality who turns into Candice.
According to her interview with Channel 24 it takes her a full hour to transform in Wandile. That is dedication.
