Career

Sannah was thrust into the limelight when she joined the late Brenda Fassie band as a dancer in 1994. She was with the group for two years and later dropped out after becoming pregnant. After giving birth, Sannah tried getting back to dancing, but her body couldn’t allow her, and she ditched dancing for good.

The actress made headlines when she left acting for a while due to family issues. A few years later, Sannah made her come back to the entertainment industry, portraying the role of Zodwa on Gomora.
