Lady Zee accepts her calling

Actress Zinhle Ngwenya, also called Lady Zee reveals she has become a traditional healer.

The TV personality focuses on healing the sick while taking a break from acting.


 

 

 

“It was a matter of accepting my calling, and I had accepted it. It’s just that my work as a healer needed to get my undivided attention, and I had to do that quick,” she told TshishaLIVE.

“For instance when I’m on set I’ll have to burn incense, I’d tend to reach my spiritual level and that drove me to the direction I’m in now to attend to my calling. My fans will be seeing me back on TV again but I can’t say when because what I’m busy with now needs patience and understanding.”

“My calling didn’t put my acting career on hold but rather forced me to pay attention to it. If I didn’t understand the journey I’m in now, I was going to complain or cry about it. But that’s not the case now. Things will be fine in due course, plus great things take time,” she said.
