For more than a decade, Nomzamo Mbatha has served as a beacon of inspiration for many South African aspiring and professional artists. From the moment she graced local screens as the stand out star of Isibaya and Umlilo, as well as being the South African to be the Face of Neutrogena, and not mention her most recent mind-blowing achievement in landing a role on Coming 2 America alongside Eddie Murphy and Tracy Morgan, Nomzamo Mbatha has blazed a bright trail of excellence showing every South African creative just how far your dreams can take you.
Nomzamo’s prolific career began in July 2012 when she auditioned July 2012 and has never looked back. She’s since ventured into other areas such as business and human rights activism, the latter having opened the path to her most amazing feat yet. The young A-List actress recently founded an initiative called the Nomzamo Mbatha Lighthouse Foundation which has recently partnered with Hollywood Bets to donate R1000,000,00 as well as gifts and stationery to South African schools. Part of the fund will be aimed at assisting those with financial difficulties in meeting school fees requirements.
Nomzamo’s mother who is a teacher herself, has always served to be a compelling example for Nomzamo through her own passion and efforts in delivering quality education to underprivileged communities. Which only makes it fitting that one of her Mother’s schools will be among the first recipients of the “Nomzamo Mbatha Lighthouse Foundation” educational grant to improve the equipment and infrastructure.
Nomzamo’s example invokes a surge of much needed positive energy in a time where the global moral is in deep need of a pick me up. The efforts of the “Nomzamo Mbatha Lighthouse Foundation” will help to better fortify and prepare the future generation of leaders and inspiring artists in steering the country’s collective thinking towards a more prosperous and united mindset.
