Award-winning actress and singer Sanaipei Tande has exited local series KINA. Her 'Nana' character will be played by Mbeki Mwalimu, beginning from February 17.
Mbeki Mwalimu is well known for her roles on 'Selina' and 'Sincerely Daisy,' among other local shows.
Sanaipei leaves the show after completing 4 Seasons with cumulative episodes of 700+. The beauty played a lead character in Kina.
She mirrored the role of a tough villain, Nana Tandala, who got her hands dirty by committing murder.
"On behalf of the Maisha Magic Plus Team, we would like to thank Sanaipei for her sterling performance on the Nana Character.
We equally wish her all the best for her future endeavors," said Margaret Mathore, Maisha Magic Plus Channel Head."
Speaking in a past interview, Sanaipei said playing the role was different and exciting.
"I am not a ‘vicious’ person in character as my role depicts. I had to channel characteristics that I don’t really possess; bossy, vicious, malicious, pretentious for example, so I really had to exert myself to be able to win in this role,"she said.
She added that crying and shouting at people and slapping them was the toughest part.
"I don’t cry in front of people and I don’t cry loudly. I also don’t shout at or slap people at all. Pretending to do that in a room full of cast and crew members takes a lot out of me."
