Nomzamo Mbatha confesses to once being engaged, having ‘beef’ with someone in the industry and to dating someone with a name starting with the letter M.
In an interview on SABC 3 breakfast show, Expresso this week, actress Nomzamo Mbatha was asked personal questions by presenters Katlego Maboe and Leigh-Ann Williams in a game of ‘Never have I ever.’
Leigh-Ann asked Nomzamo whether she had ever been engaged before. Without going into too much details, Nomzamo confirmed that she was once engaged: “I have had a rock on my finger, I don’t plan on having a rock on my finger again,” she said.
The Isibaya actress also came clean about dating a co-actor with a name starting with an M. Could it be Maps Maponyane perhaps?
Nomzamo was also asked If she has ever had ‘beef’ with someone in the industry and sadly vaguely answered, yes she has. “We were friends and we’re not friend anymore,” she said.
There had been talks that Nomzamo had once been friends with Jessica Nkosi and that the friendship came to a bitter end due to a misunderstanding.
Nomzamo is now the face of cosmetics range Neutrogena SA and an ambassador PUMA SA.
Local South African romantic comedy film Tell Me Sweet Something starring Nomzamo Mbatha, Maps Maponyane and Thishiwe Ziqubu received nine nominations at the 12th Africa Movie Academy Awards and won two including Achievement in Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress for Thishiwe Ziqubu.
The movie, which was released in September last year, raked in over R2 million at the box office with the film getting raving reviews from viewers.
Tell Me Sweet Something stays winning after returning home from the BlackStar Film Festival with the award for Best Narrative Feature.
The annual awards ceremony, which is takes place in Philadelphia, aims to celebrate films by and about African people on a global scale.
Director Akin Motoso revealed the news on social media expressing excitement.
Actress Nomzamo Mbatha has gone through a hell in her life which include having to bury family members and lately being sexually harassed by the Joburg Metro police officers. In a post last year she wrote: "Sometimes, flashes of reality threaten to rip my heart apart trying to convince me it's not a dream, but it is. We take so much for granted."
Today, the Model and Actress took it to twitter to narrate the disrespect and fear she has over the Joburg Police officers.
Nomzamo says one day an officer asked to touch her thighs for skipping the traffic lights something that diverts from traffic penal codes but rather a sexual harassment scenario.
I've been a victim of sexual harassment at the hands of @JMPDSafety officers One cop even asked to touch my thigh! For skipping a red light💔
Asked by one of her fans why she has to skip the red Lights, Nomzamo replied that she is always living in constant fear especially when it's dark or desert spot worrying about the smash and grab.
Because, I'm a woman. I'm CONSTANTLY living in fear. If it's a dark, deserted spot, I'm not stopping. I yield. https://t.co/nYeGYvoN7Z
Asked why she didn't report this sexual harassment case to the police and instead raising it on twitter, Nomzamo said the police usually gives such cases a cold touch.
At the police station, things like this are SILENCED!
Like the uncle who touches you when you're a little girl. https://t.co/xZlvj9IdQ5
Nomzamo Mbatha and Khanyi Mbau sent viewers of e.tv's popular drama series Umlilo into a meltdown during its latest episode, involving a very racy s3x scene.
The pair were seen giving into their weeks of flirting, as they bared all in the shower, kissing and engaged in s3xual activities during the steamy scene.
Much to their delight, fans quickly took to Twitter to voice their excitement, and subsequently, Umlilo landed on the trends list.
When they were in the shower kissing..her tummy was flat 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 #Umlilo
Khanyi, who plays the role of Palesa, thanked Nomzamo, shortly after the episode was screened, for supporting her during the film of the scene.
"@NomzamoMbatha once again thank you for making those weeks in that bush bearable. In the blistering cold and heat with those bees," she tweeted.
With extreme weather hitting various parts of South Africa, actress Nomzamo Mbatha has taken to her Twitter account to share a heartfelt account of her childhood.
"Rainy days like this set me back. Makes my heart ache on how far one has come...I literally used to talk to myself whilst walking in it," she said on her Twitter page.
She went on to explain that all of the hardship made her even more determined to better herself.
"Promising myself that one day I would have a car and not have to walk in the rain again. That I'd work really hard to change my narrative."
So by now we all know that Mzansi’s latest celebrity couple to come out with their relationship is media personalities Maps Maponyane and Nomzamo Mbatha. The two have kept their relationship in curtains for quite along time and have on many occasions denied the fact that they have chemistry in between stating that they're BESTIES. Nomzamo has been hanging with Maps ever since her ex-boyfriend Norman went out to buy milk and never came back.
While walking on to the stage to receive his Sexiest Man Award at the YOU Spectacular Awards this past Saturday, Maps walked past Nomzamo and for the first time planted a passionate kiss on her lips. The kiss that left Nomzamo visibly blushing and left the crowd cheering on the new love birds.
Actress Nomzamo Mbatha has been left shocked after discovering that a Facebook user pretending to be her has been promising fans a spot on Isibaya in exchange for cash.
Speaking to sources on Tuesday‚ Nomzamo said that she was notified of the page by one of her Instagram followers who sent her a message.
The message read: “Someone on Facebook is pretending to be you and sadly promises people that she will get them a space on Isibaya and the worst part is that she’s asking for bribes.”
Nomzamo said that she and her team are currently investigating the matter but could not say if her team would be taking legal action against the person‚ if caught.
“In the social media age we live in‚ it’s become more and more common for fake accounts to be created. It’s happening to more and more celebrities and all I can do is ask my fans to be discerning and aware‚” she added.
Nomzamo said that she maintains a Facebook fan page‚ through which she communicates with followers‚ but has obviously never asked fans for money‚ nor is she in a position to get them a spot on Isibaya.
“I have a page that has around 200 000 followers. People should go onto that page and not trust pages with like 50 or even 500 followers‚” she said.
Nomzamo is the latest in a long list of celebrities‚ including Bonang Matheba and Khanyi Mbau‚ who have faced problems with fake accounts on the social media site in recent months.
Nomzamo Mbatha is not entertaining a KwaZulu-Natal woman who claims to be her real mother.
A woman named Elizabeth Mbatha is even determined to prove that the TV personality is her biological daughter. She told Sunday Sun that Nomzamo's family will receive lobolo when she gets married, but a dark cloud will hang over the actress. "As I said before, I don't want her money, fame or fortune, but she needs to know the truth. I'm not getting any younger and will soon leave this world - and she'll be looking for answers from the wrong people."
However, Nomzamo is not here for this. She took to Instagram to laugh off the reports, and share a picture of her real mother. She captioned it: "My mommy in the middle and my older sister @w.mbatha .. Sunday Sun ran a story AGAIN about a woman claiming to be my mother, some Lobola nonsense and curses... Dry news week. This was our reaction last night😂😂😂😂😂😂..."
First launched in 2013, the Simon ‘Mabhunu’ Sabela Film and Television Awards recognise outstanding achievement and excellence within the South African film and television industry, with a special focus on KwaZulu-Natal.
Mbatha served as the host for this year’s awards, changing into four breathtaking ensembles throughout the night. Three of her bright-hued looks – with electric African prints, peplum panels and daring cleavage-hugging details – were the creations of fashion designer Ri.Ch Factory.
The Isibaya and Umlilo actress also slipped into a monochrome Durban Fashion Fair halter-neck gown.
Big winners of the night included Vusi Kunene for his acting stint on Mzansi Magic soapie Isibaya, Uzalo villainess Dawn Thandeka King as well as Isibaya supporting cast members Celeste Ntuli and Bheki Mkhwane.
