Linda Sokhulu joins Rhythm City after an 8-year stint on SABC3's weekday soap, Isidingo as the character of Nikiwe Sibeko.
e.tv in a statement about the cast addition says Linda Sokhulu "joins the cast as Ziyanda, a smart, savvy businessperson who has a booming laugh and a dirty sense of humour. She takes no nonsense but doesn't have to prove she's tough".
"She is both streetwise and worldly and knows how to use her beauty and brains to get what she wants."
"The character of Ziyanda comes into Suffo's life and lures him into a bigger world of business and power. She becomes his unlikely buddy."
"Ziyanda is a tough-talking broad who isn't afraid to speak her mind. She isn't intimidated by Suffo in the slightest and speaks to him in a way he wouldn't accept from another woman."
"Ziyanda unwittingly challenges Suffo (Mduduzi Mabaso) and Puleng's (Tebogo Khalo) compatibility and ultimately highlights their very different goals. Will Puleng perceive her as a rival?"
The new character will be a threat to both David Genaro (Jamie Bartlett) and Suffocate.
Linda Sokhulu says "I am looking forward to playing Ziyanda - it's a very challenging role. She is worldly and street smart, sexy and driven. She knows exactly what she wants and is not afraid to speak her mind. David and Suffo have no idea what they're in for".
