We speak to SA actor Phumzile Sitole about her role in Star Trek: Discovery

Congratulations rang out on Twitter when it was announced that South African actor Phumzile Sitole would be starring in Star Trek: Discovery Season 3.

The Johannesburg-born actor is no stranger to a hit television series. She previously starred in Orange Is the New Black and The Good Fight.

In true South African style, there is a sense of great pride and support when we see that one of our own is doing well and waving the flag high.
