Vatiswa Ndara launches book

Vatiswa Ndara has compiled messages from fans and supporters, as a way of saying thank you. This is all in a book with the title I am Because of You.

She edited the book on her own, and admits that selection of the messages was not easy.

“There were so many and so many equally tugging at my heartstrings, but I had to carefully curate them to provide a broad overview of those messages that are at times funny, deep, and heartfelt.”

She decided to release the book because she feels actors aren’t given the platform to thank their supporters in a personal way.

“As an actor, I feel, we don’t have the same platform as musicians or radio broadcasters to engage with fans and supporters, and express our gratitude in a personal and immediate way.”

“While the television brings us into homes across the country, the fans and supporters’ engagement with us as actors are distant. So, for me, this book is how I can best relay my sincerest appreciation of the support I have been receiving from all corners of the country during my time over the years in television and broadcasting.”

The book is soon to be available at R180. Vatiswa will also embark on a nation-wide book signing.
