Deli Malinga on getting her first lead role and the challenges of playing a villainous character.Seasoned actress Deli Malinga has been an actor for more than two decades and finally landed her first leading role, playing Mamzobe on Mzansi Magic's drama series earlier this year. While it is everything she's been hoping for, she admits it has also come with extra baggage.

Deli said this role is the perfect fit for her to showcase her range as an actress. She said there have been times when playing the villainous role has challenged her emotionally. Deli went on a short hiatus to reflect and connect with herself again after they stopped shooting two months later. “I saw people talking about this character and hating it so much, telling me not to go to the malls because they'd beat me up when they see me. Someone recently said to me they hope I have bodyguards.”
