1. Kay Bikitsha comes from humble beginnings
Born in Mthatha but raised in the KuGatyana region of Willowvale, Eastern Cape, the future entertainer grew up in a small town and was raised by her grandmother, who sold sweets. Kay drew inspiration from actors like Yonela Duze and Nambitha Mpumlwana and would guilt trip her grandmother into giving her sweets by acting, an early sign of her love for drama.
2. Her love of acting was apparent at a young age
Discovering her love of acting in her adolescence, Kay was taken for drama lessons when she was in Grade 6 at Gonubie Primary School. Kay states the first 'big role' she can recall is when she played Lady Macbeth in Shakespeare in Grade 7.
3. She dropped drama and chose another path in college
Kay said she dropped drama soon after she starred in Shakespeare but went on to write, direct and produce for the Ubuntu Cultural Society and Xhosa Cultural Society at Stirling High School. Kay obtained a BCom in Marketing Management at the University of Johannesburg.
4. Kay auditioned for a different role to who she plays on Gqeberha: The Empire
Although most fans know Kay as Nozuko Mxenge on Gqeberha: The Empire, it was not the role she initially auditioned for. Kay said she auditioned for the role of Nobomi a couple of times but felt she could not bring her strong character to life. To her surprise (as she mentioned how nervous she was during the auditions), she landed the role of Nozuko, which many consider her breakout role.
5. The actor frequently credits God for her milestones
Kay is religious and follows Christianity. She will often post about her love for God online, thanking him for what she holds dear, including her successful career, siblings, and other positive aspects.
