Brenda Ngxoli Discusses Her Role As An Ice Queen In The Upcoming Film 'a Scam Called Love'

Award-winning actress Brenda Ngxoli is no stranger to South African audiences, but for the first time, she is making her debut on the big screen in A Scam Called Love, set to premiere in cinemas this March.

In an interview with IOL, Brenda opened up about the experience, the depth of her character, and why she believes in the power of cinema.

Ngxoli described the moment of finally being in cinemas as 'humbling' and an unexpected but welcomed journey. 'We grew up in homes where TV was our big screen, and only later in life did we experience cinema. To now be part of that world is incredible. Its all in Gods timing,' she reflected.

Ngxoli plays a high-powered woman navigating family complexities, a role she finds refreshing compared to the tragic and flawed characters she has often portrayed.

'It was liberating not to be typecast. I loved that shes an independent, strong woman, yet she has a complicated relationship with her daughter. The challenge was bringing depth to the character while keeping her authentic to the African experience,' she said.
