As part of the cast of the
Coming 2 America movie, Mbatha continues to showcase her great acting skills as the character Miremebe, according to the station.
She is Zamunda’s royal hair dresser, a character which she describes as charming, witty and smart with something different to offer.
"I am a product of public votes, that's how I got into this industry. I don't do the work to be seen, I do the work because I want to push the narrative and be inspiring. I don't allow critics to take from me. I'm doing this to be a tangible representation of a dream," says Mbatha.
Mbatha also highlighted that she considers herself as Pan African, having travelled within the African continent a lot through work, and that she wanted anyone who watched the movie across Africa to see themselves in it. She adds that it was important for her to bring various nuances into the movie and bring the character to life.
