Dawn was part of Uzalo for seven years and will be joining Mzansi Magic’s new show, DiepCity.

She’s Thandiwe, mother to troubled Nox (Nozuko Ncayiyane).

Her daughter is fresh from prison after being involved in a robbery that got her straight-A student brother Sibusiso (Tshiamo Molobi) shot.

Nox returns to a family still living in a shack after her alcoholic father Bonga (Hamilton Dlamini) lost his job. Her mother hasn’t forgiven her for Sibusiso’s death and is still a domestic worker.
