Zikhona Sodlaka Plays The Evil

Zikhona Sodlaka has played a number of roles on our screens but none compare to what she is currently playing on Igazi. We have discussed Igazi before where a born heir has come for his throne while it’s being eyed by an evil stepmother (Vathiswa Ndara) who is pushing for her own son to take the throne but she’s not the evil one here, S’chotho is.

S’chotho is an evil mastermind who works hand in hand with the evil stepmother in preceding her evil deeds. S’chotho is very different from the witch-doctors we’ve seen on our screens before, she’s more practical and seems a little psycho and has an unusual psychic. We know Nkabinde had Mehlo’emamba and before Mulimsi was a hot shot himself he was the psychic of Vho-Mushasha and S’chotho has a snake at her service(Mamlambo much).

We love Zikhona playing this role because it’s something fresh from her works, we don’t think we’ve seen her play such a role before. We have definitely seen her play evil before but that was modern day kind of evil when she played the role of Ava Modise on Entabeni. Entabeni was the South African adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Ava of course was Lady Macbeth herself.

Zikhona’s breakthrough role though was that of  Zukiswa on the much beloved Tsha Tsha and time moved on and we came to see Zikhona play the modern day woman on many other shows like when she played Prisca on Generations(without the Legacy). Zikhona can now also be seen firing shots on BET Africa’s Top Actor Africa where she is host/judge (doing it Tyra Banks style)
