Nonka Uzalo Actress Dragged On Social Media For Broken English

Uzalo actress Thuthuka Mthembu, found herself on the wrong side of Mzansi Twitter after she made a grammatical error.

Thuthuka Mthembu, who is known for her role as Nonka on Uzalo got dragged that she had to delete the tweet.

The Uzalo actress took part in the trending #IamSingleBecause challenge and it ended in tears.

The challenge requires people to give reasons why they are single and the answers range from hilarious, heartbreaking to serious.

Thuthuka Mthembu decided to throw her hat in the ring and participate in the challenge.

Apparently she got her tenses mixed up and it didn’t end well.

She used the word ‘find’ instead of ‘found’ when she tweeted

“IamSingleBecause I haven’t find a good man.”

The grammar police quickly descended on her and tore into her left and right, before the poor actress deleted the tweet.

However, getting her tenses mixed doesn’t stop the actress’ star from rising and securing the bag.

Thuthuka Mthembu recently joined the cast of the highly successful drama eHostela for its second season.

The actress is playing the role of Sthandwa, a naïve girl who left KwaZulu-Natal to find a better life for herself in Johannesburg and takes a stop at the hostel, where she discovers that her mother had abandoned her family and was seeking refuge at the hostel.

Shortly before her debut, Thuthuka Mthembu took to Instagram to share her excitement for her role saying

“I’m pretty excited about this one. Nervous. But excited. I can’t wait for you to meet Sthandwa.”

What is amazing is that the actress didn’t have any acting experience before and Uzalo was her first acting gig.

So the grammar police might want to take a back seat because that hasn’t stopped the actress from soaring.
