Nomzamo Mbatha Is Set to Make Big Studio Debut in 'Coming 2 America': "I'm Prepared for the Moment"
While there is no African country of Zamunda, from which Coming to America's Prince Akeem hails, the movie had an impact on the continent when it was released in 1988 — particularly in South Africa, home to Nomzamo Mbatha, who makes her big studio debut in the sequel, premiering on Amazon on March 5. "So many people back home say Coming to America was the first time they'd been to a cinema," says Mbatha, 30, whose credits include the homegrown hit Tell Me Sweet Something, which earned her an Africa Movie Academy Award nom, and the telenovela iSibaya.
