Isithembiso cast: A-Z exhaustive list with pictures

Isithembiso cast is a composition of skilled actors and actresses. The program itself is a story of two young persons who make their way into Johannesburg in pursuit of better lives and their familial ties. As the story unfolds, you realise that it is more of a millennial migrant narration of how Mzansi youths are pursuing their choices, ambitions and the consequences of their actions. It is simply mind-blowing.

Nandi Mbatha skillfully plays the role of Simlindile – a tragic rural heroine, distracting everyone from the fact that she is just but a novice.

Her decision to go to Johannesburg appears to be unfounded from the word go, and her story seems set not to have a good ending.
