Industry Professionals
Every tv and film professional that has worked with Khabonina, has been left with nothing more than impressed.
“Today, I want to say thank you Khabonina Q for how you approached Ntombazi. I am thankful her spirit chose you. She comes alive in you. She is calm, sure and loving to her children no matter what,”. “I love and respect you Ma! You make decisions that you see fit for your family and your nation … Your measures and your methods are unorthodox!
Mondli Makhoba
“Qubeka broke the mould of the typical aging prostitute so often seen in films. She’s not anyone’s sidekick, and her character is memorable, authentic and deeply human. She reflects the reality lived by many women, in South African and elsewhere around the world. We are thrilled that her performance and the film itself have been singled out for the jury in Boston.
Kosta Kalyritis
“There’s nothing Khabonina wouldn’t do if the director asked her to. In fact, most of the crazy things her character did on Shaka: Ilembe were her suggestion. And the directors trusted her enough to just let her do her thing. Personally, I couldn’t stay away from her, because she just has that magnetic energy about her that makes you want to be around her all the time
Chris Q.
“Khabonina is a very talented media artist and a cosmic professional. She’s one of the best in the business, a master of all the art forms (She sings, she dances and acts in any role she’s given). She’s got a crazy sense of humour and an insane work ethic.
Do yourself a favour, cast and work with Khabonina”.
Adze Ugah
“Working with Khabonina on a couple of our productions has been nothing short of transformative. From the moment we started rehearsals, her passion and dedication to the craft were palpable.
Khabonina also has an extraordinary ability to bring depth and authenticity to every scene she plays in which makes it an absolute joy to collaborate with her.”
