Sikelelwa Vuyeleni acts out a passion as she toasts 10 years in television industry

, the gut-wrenching series that walked away with four awards at the South African Film and Television Awards in 2022."My passion for acting started in 2013 when I was in grade 10 – I took drama as a subject... the very same year I was also a part of an agency that got me my first acting gig," says the Cape Town-born actor.

"I was 15 when I first appeared on television, so this year marks my tenth year in the acting industry."After matric, Vuyeleni had planned to got to University of Cape Town, but with her application rejected, fate redirected her to a career in filmography and videography, closer to where her passion lied. "I studied film at Cape Peninsula the University of Technology.

"I chose film because I knew it was not too far off from what I love which is acting. As much as I was settling at the time, I didn't see myself studying anything that is outside the acting industry."I am grateful that I studied filmography because it has helped me expand even more and I'm currently building a production company of my own.

"To be honest, this industry is a start-and-go and it never really feels as though you've made it. But it being my tenth year, I can safely say my journey in the industry has been a steady one. I've paced myself, I don't feel like anything has been rushed but more prepared for what's next... I also feel like I haven't even touched what I plan to do in this industry.

"I've always looked up to who I want to be because I know of the potential that I possess. But Thuso Mbedu is someone who inspires me. She's very talented and disciplined when it comes to her craft. I also love how gracious she moves and how she lets her work speak for her... that's what I want for myself as well."I want to be remembered as the girl who showed up and made things happen. Not only that but to be known for my exceptional work as an actor," Vuyeleni says.
