Local model and actress Obakeng Kgwedi recently made her debut on Mzansi Magic’s “Gomora”. Kgwedi took to Instagram to announce her new role on the popular television drama series on Monday.
“I'm really just in awe, have been since October. I prayed for years for this, I manifested, I waited, I got discouraged, but I kept on praying,” she shared.
“Cause in my heart of hearts I knew that the dream I used to have as a little girl (up until October 2022) were premonitions of what’s yet to come. I'm so grateful.”
Her lengthy caption also included a Bible verse.
“Commit to the Lord whatever you do and He will establish your plans – Proverbs 16:3. She also thanked @dithapelo_casting_agency and @theethespiansmasterclass for their support.
“Thank you for paving the way to the rest of my life to many more and thank you so much for believing in me and walking this journey with me,” she added.
Kgwedi, whose role on “Gomora” sees her starring alongside local star Gaosi Raditholo, also gave props to her co-star in the post.
“@gaosi_raditholo thank you for making this so much easier,” she added. “I thank God everyday. You make it feel like home.”
Apart from her new role on “Gomora”, Raditholo recently announced her return to Season 3 of HBO's “Warrior”.
“Warrior” is based on the writings of the iconic cultural figure, Bruce Lee, and is set during the Tong Wars which took place in the 1800s in San Francisco.
In a recent release, Raditholo expressed her pride in being part of the show.
“Knowing that this show was inspired by the writings of the legendary Bruce Lee was very exciting. I grew up watching his films, so I am truly humbled to be part of such a great project with a compelling story.
“It’s also a bonus that it puts forward Asian American representation so beautifully.”
