Latest news
It seems the entertainment industry has not been kind to Brenda, as is the case with a number of other females in the sector. She was recently narrating about the abuse she received from about three years ago, which, interestingly, involved another woman. While on a set, a fellow woman and three men fondled her and she is still learning to heal today.
In addition, she moved to her rural home to escape the stress of city life. All this time in her acting, she invested in her farm and wanted tranquil mornings. She is also not that big on chasing auditions while paying rent. She still shoots though because she loves acting.
In other good news, Vuyo of Home Affairs is back on the screens, this time in the new TV show, iThemba on Mzansi Magic. This show that started on 7th of October also casts Vatiswa Ndara.
