Her research study examined how the soap opera Uzalo, has highlighted the victimisation of people living with Albinism in Season Four.

‘People living with Albinism face harm and even death at the hands of the community. The research critically explored how UzaloBlood is Forever uses entertainment-education interventions to address social ills,’ explained Zama.

The bubbly Zama believes time management and hard work enabled her to obtain her degree. ‘My band Heels Over Head was celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2018, but I did not let gigs and touring let me drop the ball when it came down to doing my best in my studies,’ she said.

She is thankful for the support of her family and friends and is keen to further her studies.
