Emhle Mbali Mlotshwa has joined the list of celebrities to stand against racism in South Africa as the actress and mum speaks on racial discrimination she is facing even at work. #racismmustfall
Mbali Mlotshwa on Sunday morning took to Instagram to speak on the subject.
She wrote:
“in the past year I started shooting @real7delaan and I agreed to doing because of the story behind my character. Interracial relationships. Working there was not easy and finding my footing was the most difficult but I took it on with the utmost humility, Since my character journey was the most important thing. Bernard and Nandi recieved some racist slurs from there on screen debut this past week,(production expected it and so did I and change was the point ) but the crazy thing is racial slurs happened on set with people I thought were educated and open minded. I say #racismMustfall open this conversation. I’m all for it being a crime #ImbrownAndProud thank you Bernard for being the perfect gentleman throughout. #simplylive #simplylove #simplyenhle?? skin color is for the blind… And ignorant”
The actress started filming for the popular Afrikaans soapie late last year, which she says has been quite a learning curve for her. Enhle played the character of Nandi, who moves to Hillside to design a men’s fashion range with Felicity.
The yummy mommy of two also recently launched her clothing label SE Preggoz, which is a trendy pregnancy range for expecting moms.
