Asanda Foji Departure from generations
She acknowledges that she shot most of the scenes nervous because it was her first television role. What made her even more nervous was the knowledge that she was being watched by millions of viewers. As much as she studied theatre acting, the Simphiwe role was a big transition for her.
“I know that my acting was not impressive. “I was nervous most of the time. The nerves really worked against me and it showed on television,” she confesses. “There was a lot of pressure and I was new. It’s funny that I was not intimidated by the camera and lights though,” she says.
One of Foji’s weaknesses was that she could not show emotions. “It’s a skill I have learned as I got along. “In my latest scenes I achieved it, maybe that is why my acting looked bad. As an actress, you constantly grow,” she said.
For someone acting on television for the first time and alongside seasoned actors like Rapulana Seiphemo, Connie Ferguson, Manaka Ranaka and Ronnie Nyakale were intimidating.
At some point, she would forget her role and marvel at the stars in action. “There were times where I would forget that I was acting and looked at these people and realized how lucky I was to work with them,” she says.
