Nambitha Ben-Mazwi reflects on her role on ‘Empini’
Renowned actress Nambitha Ben-Mazwi has shared a heartfelt message to her Empini character, Ndoni, offering words of healing and empowerment.
In a recent Instagram post, the actress reflected on her role and the deep emotional impact of portraying a woman grappling with severe PTSD, relapsing trauma, and years of gaslighting.
Nambitha expressed gratitude for the overwhelming response to Empini Season 2, acknowledging the discussions sparked by her character’s journey.
She revealed that reliving those heavy scenes while watching the show made her reflect on a question she was asked during an interview:
What advice would she give to Ndoni, woman to woman?
In response, she shared a powerful message of healing:
“I’d tell her to heal her inner child and that what happened wasn’t her fault. She should trust herself and hold onto her truth, regardless of others’ opinions. I’d encourage her to be gentle with herself, to let go of defensiveness, and to embrace healing without seeking external validation.”
