Brynard offered to pay the fee for the actress, due to her potential, on the condition that she makes her proud. However, Kunene realised the application fee of N$900 was a bit too steep for her and considered auditioning only in 2019. Brynard approached her after noticing her great talent and stage presence, and invited her to the audition for the Namibian championships, which was held at the National Theatre of Namibia (NTN) last year. Kunene was discovered by the director of the Namibian Championships of Performing Arts, Lomine Brynard, at a fundraising event where she was emceeing. Out of the 66 participating countries at the world championships for performing arts, Kunene was one of the eight actors who made it into the semi-finals. On 7 July she travelled overseas for a two-week competition hosted in Los Angeles and competed in the acting category. She, however, started acting in the third grade. Her advice to fellow youth is: “Get out of your comfort zone.” Kunene, who was born in South Africa, developed a love for the performing arts while in the seventh grade, after she was named as the overall winner of an inter-school arts and culture competition in Mpumalanga, South Africa, where she performed a monologue. “Dancing interprets what I can’t say with my mouth,” she said. She is also a talented and passionate dancer. The third-year media and drama student describes herself as independent and loud. These are the hats that Naledi Kunene, popularly known as Nay-Nay, wears when she is not occupied with her full-time studies at the University of Namibia (Unam).
