“CASTING NEWS:
Gaisang K. Noge joins #TheWifeShowmax
Meet Naledi.
Noge plays Naledi — a doctor, who falls for Qhawe Zulu (played by Kwenzo Ngcobo).”
After the news was announced, a popular South African tabloid, City Press, had an exclusive interview with Gaisang K. Noge
When did you start acting?
I started working in the industry professionally in 2018; I’ve done some stage, some commercial work and some other TV stuff. I also play Mampho in House of Zwide. She’s fire: she’s very spicy and goes for everything and anything she wants.
How did your casting process for The Wife go?
As actors, this is what we do all the time: we audition. But I don’t think I’ve ever been so nervous casting before; I guess it was because I just loved Naledi so much. She’s sweet and loving but she’s also reactive. Some people call it crazy but I think it’s passion. She expresses her love and isn’t afraid to give you her heart.
How are you preparing for this role?
I obviously read the book, so I take a lot from the book: the essence of who she is, her mannerisms, the things that she does. I started using nude nail polish because that’s what Naledi does. I’ll eat a certain type of food because she does that. I started copying a lot of the way she lives in my own life.
And I ask a lot of questions. I ask the creative director, Mr Fiks, and I ask Kwenzo questions as well. It’s just a matter of constantly reflecting and thinking.
I also started watching some medical stuff, to get the feel.
How similar are you and Naledi?
We’re both very strong. She moves; she carries on. We’re both disciplined. Naledi is stubborn. I can also be stubborn. I don’t like to say it out loud, but apparently I’m stubborn. She is, to a certain extent selfless, although that’s so hard to read. Look, some people may disagree, but I will always defend my characters.
The big difference between her and I is that I did not go to school for seven years to study to be a doctor.
I also don’t know if I would stay if I found out my man is a killer or comes from a family of gangsters.
Watch The Wife only on Showmax, with new episodes every Thursday.
