This week, we caught up with Kasazi Lungu, better known as Noni from popular Zambezi Magic dramedy #ZMAmooye for a fun chat about all things Amooye. The live chat was set against the sounds of some upbeat music – and every now and then you could see the star bopping her head and singing along to these choice tunes. Amooye, which means coming of age, tells the story of three women; Noni, Muta, and Wiza who are brought together when Noni kills someone and the other two help her cover it up.
From riches, to rags:
When asked what sets Amooye apart from anything we’ve seen on our television screens before, Kasazi praised the show for its storytelling style, which she feels is different. This season of #ZMAmooye will be longer than the first season and one thing she can guarantee for sure is that Noni will be serving looks. The most popular question asked during the live chat was whether Noni and Kabwe will get back together – and given their history, would it be surprising if they did?
We got to know the person behind the character and here are some things you may not have known about Kasazi:
She is short-sighted, so she wears glasses
She loves wine
She is ambitious
She runs her own errands (and walks with cheetahs ?)
Mwiza (Anita Munamonga) from Mpali is her real-life mother.
She does not like the public scrutiny that comes with being a public figure
She is a foodie and a fashionista
