According to the 19-year-old, her role as Sibongile on Mzansi Wethu’s Sibongile & The Dlaminis means a lot to her, and she wants to be an example for young people who have given up.
“This project has provided me with a platform to address the black child who has big dreams but faces obstacles while actively attempting to make those dreams a reality.”
“This project means being given the chance to be an antidote to the pain that is caused by your dreams being on hold and a vessel of hope to the struggling black kid who has enormous dreams. People must expect authenticity and honesty from me through the Sibongile role,” she said.
Sibongile, she added, lost her mother when she was quite young and had to navigate life with the help of her cruel and insensitive stepmother.
“She also did not receive financial aid for her studies, and the solution was to work as a maid after her stepmother gambled the money Sibongile’s father offered to pay for her studies.”
“While undergoing adversity, Sibongile learned to always try to find an alternative plan that will lead you back to your initial plan,” she said.
Luyanda stated that performing this part taught her that God will always guide you and that all you have to do is trust in the broader picture.
She stated that she wanted to show to others that it is possible to achieve one’s ambitions.
“My message to those who look up to me is that your gift is what will propel you to greatness.” “Just identify your gift and use it to serve the world, and watch God elevate you and bring you before kings,” she added.
