South African actress and media personality Vatiswa Ndara, who was unfairly blacklisted from the entertainment industry, has officially released her explosive memoir titled Unfiltered: My Unglamorous Odyssey in the World of SA Entertainment. The book, retailing at R300 on Takealot, takes readers on a gripping and deeply personal journey through the highs and lows of her career.
In Unfiltered, Ndara pulls back the curtain on South Africa’s entertainment industry, revealing the hidden realities behind her public success. The memoir begins with her early life, set against the backdrop of apartheid and her family’s brief stay in the United Kingdom. From a hopeful young woman to a celebrated media personality, Ndara chronicles the struggles, triumphs, and heartbreaks that shaped her path.
The post, which announced the book's release, was posted by blogger Musa Khawula, who recently had fans worried about his health in prison:
