NOBODY would have blamed her for being bitter. In fact, many were outraged on her behalf and couldn’t believe the humiliation she’d had to endure.
Not only had her husband of nearly 10 years cheated on her, he’d revealed intimate details of their crumbling marriage to a national Sunday newspaper without her consent.
It would’ve been enough for anyone to see red and hit back. But Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa is no ordinary woman.
Apart from an Instagram post in which she revealed her union with DJ Black Coffee was on the rocks, she’s maintained her silence despite him opening up about their split.
And, as her fans would know, she threw herself into being a good mom to her two sons and put extra effort into expanding her career.
Her hustling has paid off and Enhle (32) started 2020 on a high note after what she says was a “very, very, very rough year”.
She’s back on the small screen after landing a role in Mzansi Magic’s hit show Isibaya, and her fashion line, Essie Apparel, has been featured in fashion bible Vogue Italia.
But what everyone’s talking about right now is her landing a coveted role in Netflix’s highly anticipated new spy series, Queen Sono.
“Like my character, I don’t conform to what society says,” Enhle tells us. “I’m a thinker and because I’m a thinker I’ll often work more than what a woman apparently should.”
She plays Nova, the spicy girlfriend of William (played by Khathu Ramabulana) who’s the therapist and childhood friend of the show’s lead character, Queen Sono (Pearl Thusi).
Enhle is thrilled about her part in the action-packed spy thriller, the global streaming service’s first original African series.
The role couldn’t have come at a better time, she says.
