"When doing his make-up I was also extremely nervous to touch him, but he was such a generous and kind man. When you were touching Tata you could feel his energy rubbing off on you. Being in his household and touching him was such a blessing to me.
I’ve worked with a lot of international people, but for me that day, I shall forever cherish in my heart because I believe in everything that Tata stood for and I’m what I am because of him," he said.
Another recent highlight for Ntatho was when he had the opportunity to work with Bold & The Beautiful actress - Katherine Kelly Lang, better known as Brooke Logan.
