A Rynfield resident and Benoni High School learner has been accepted to study film at the New York Film Academy.

Bongiwe Ngidi (16) has been involved in the arts since she was nine years old.

She describes herself as a well-spoken young woman, who has an incomparable passion for the performing arts.

“Late last year I applied to the New York Film Academy in the USA for their Acting Summer Camps, and I am proud to say I was accepted,” she said.

She is currently enrolled at Sibikwa Arts Centre’s Saturday Arts Academy for the third year.

”I was also recently selected for a part in an up-coming movie, ‘Hard to get’, directed by Zee Ntuli,” said Bongiwe.

She is now raising funds for her trip to New York.
