Baby Cele Opens Up About Playing Character Of Rural Girl

Veteran actress Baby Cele, who has been in the South African acting industry for nearly 25 years, believes her long-lasting career is due to her respect for others and her dedication.

Cele shared that her professionalism and preparedness have kept her in demand for acting roles.

In an interview with Sunday World, Cele explained that her respect for producers and co-stars plays a big part in her success.

She also acknowledged her good fortune in securing roles but emphasized that hard work and humility have also helped her stay relevant in the entertainment world.

Cele, who currently stars in Mzansi Magic’s Sibongile and The Dlaminis, is selective about the roles she takes.

She noted that she doesn’t accept every offer that comes her way, even when she might need the money. This has allowed her to only take roles that reflect her self-worth and align with her values.

Her latest character, Samke, is a departure from her previous glamorous roles. Samke is a village woman who once had a music career but was betrayed by her friends.

Cele wants viewers to connect with Samke’s journey and see a part of themselves in her story.

As Cele continues to thrive in her career, she remains focused on maintaining her integrity and allowing her work to speak for itself.
