But thankfully she was real quick with her hands and doused the fire.
Whilst enjoying what looks like a dinner interview with her Uzalo cast members, Nokuthula, who plays the role of Thobile in the SABC 1 drama series is seen nearly getting herself burned by a candle as her weave caught fire whilst she and the rest of the Uzalo cast took a group photo.
Thanks to Nokuthala's fast reflexes nothing serious happened to her and the moment of shock turned into a moment of laughter they will all remember.
Whilst the likes of Gugu Gumede laughed at what had just transpired, look at the confused reactions from Khaya Dladla and Khanyi Mkangisa.
We're glad Nokuthula is safe and nothing life-threating happened to her.
