Gospel star Lebo Sekgobela makes acting debut in upcoming Mzansi Bioskop film 'Ingozi'

Best known for her powerful vocals and the chart-topping worship anthem Lion of Judah, Lebo takes on the role of Zanele in the emotionally charged film. 

 

Ingozi follows the story of Sandile, a gifted young man with dreams of making it big as a kwaito musician, but his path to success is anything but smooth. Caught between chasing his passion and escaping the dangerous criminal world his uncle has pulled him into, Sandile faces the ultimate test of character. Set against the gritty and vibrant backdrop of South Africa’s music scene, Ingozi is a tale of ambition, resilience and the fight to rise above one's circumstances.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Lebo opened up about her first acting experience.

“Being part of the Ingozi cast was a dream come true. They taught me so much and I got to work with an amazing and talented cast and crew,” she said.

“Wow, the set was incredible and they treated me well. I had to put on a different hat, acting is such a beautiful form of art, especially when you work with professionals. I relate so much to my character, Zanele. She’s amazing and also musical.”

The gospel singer expressed gratitude for the opportunity and hinted at more to come. “God has my future covered. I believe greater opportunities are coming — the sky is the limit.”
