Meet Six Nyamane, the talented actress taking the TV world by storm as Nozipho Cele on Generations: The Legacy. Born Mpume, Six has already made a name for herself with memorable roles in Scandal!, Blessers, and Rhythm City.
But few know the story behind her unique name. “Six” originated from her hockey days, where she played position six and coaches used numbers instead of names. The nickname stuck, even after she left the pitch.
The 25-year-old Newcastle native discovered her passion for acting at Unisa, but her mother wasn’t initially thrilled about her pursuing a career in the arts. Despite this, Six followed her heart and landed her first role after ditching finance classes for auditions.
Her big break came when she secretly shot a film without her family’s knowledge, but her mother eventually came around after seeing Six’s dedication to her craft. Now, Six is making waves in the entertainment industry and proving that following your dreams is always worth it.
