DAWN THANDEKA KING |

28 Aug 2026 · 56 min · Episode 225

MaNgcobo. Mkabayi. Nomcebo. Mazet. Dawn Thandeka King has spent a decade building the kind of characters that don't leave you when the episode ends.

This week on WAW, the Eshowe-born actress, musician and motivational speaker joins DJ Fresh — with Mpho Maboi sitting in — to talk about the roles that made her a household name, what it takes to survive two decades in an industry that chews people up, and being honoured with the Lifetime Shero Award at the 10th annual Gagasi FM Shero Awards.

From Technikon Natal drama student to Shaka iLembe's Mkabayi kaJama. From a 9-to-5 in Durban tourism to Uzalo, Lockdown, DiepCity and Isitha: The Enemy.
