The Uzalo actress has been showing off her natural hairstyle more and more on social media and she looks stunning.

Briefly.co.za gathered that she told Move magazine that she likes her afro, but knows that not everyone will find it attractive.

"I used to wear wigs because I just didn’t feel beautiful without them. I’m fine with my hair in it is natural state but most people would not see it as beautiful ... Beauty is so subjective. It is definitely a state of mind. Beauty has to be an internal thing; you cannot think beauty is someone’s stamp of approval or validation of who you are."
