Nozuko Ncayiyane, known for her role as Nox in DiepCity, stars as Lindiwe in the Showmax film M’tase Khaya, alongside Amanda Seome as Bongiwe and Mzansi Viewer’s Choice Award winner Sana Mchunu as their mother.
“M’tase Khaya portrays the power of sisterhood,” says director Athi Petela (Lockdown, Queendom). “Blood is always thicker than water, and in unity, so much more can be achieved. I’m a huge fan of sisterhood, both biological and through friendship.”
“I hope the film helps viewers appreciate the importance of family bonds and the complexities of sisterhood,” says Ncayiyane. “The film highlights that everyone has their own path and that redemption is always possible.”
Ncayiyane mentions she found parts of herself in her character, particularly Lindiwe’s loyalty to family and her rebellious nature. “While her choices differ from mine, her motivations and complexities resonate deeply with my experiences,” she shared.
Ncayiyane also expressed her gratitude for working with Mchunu, saying, “She brought so much warmth and depth to the role, creating a strong emotional anchor for both Lindiwe and Bongiwe.”
The cast also includes Luzuko Nkqeto as Detective Xulu, alongside notable actors such as Thobani Mbhele, comedian Mongezi “Tol A$$ Mo” Mahlangu, Dippy Padi (Adulting, How To Ruin Christmas), and Kelo Mile . “The cast is made up of people who are naturally playful and a lot of fun,” says Petela.
