ZIMBABWEAN born Maskandi music outfit, Abafana BakaMzilikazi founder Keith “Doit” Nkomo is harnessing his acting skills after landing cameo roles on well established South African soapies among them Isiphetho-Destiny and Smoke and Mirrors.
The artiste who hails from Tsholotsho in Matabeleland North province started his acting journey in 2022 and is slowly becoming a household name and hopes to cast for permanent roles in the future.
Doit said he has joined a number of casting agencies with a bid to grow his acting career.
“I started professional acting in 2022 on the film called Inotho Ye Gazi and since then l have been landing some roles here and there with the mission of growing my brand also as an actor.
“My most prominent sets so far have been on South African soapies namely Isiphetho where my character is called Mover boy and on Smoke and Mirrors where my name is Cultural man.
