Rehema Nanfuka, “Mary”

Rehema Nanfuka was born on May 25th, 1985, in Jinja, Uganda. With no intentions of becoming a film actress, Rehema veered into the IMANI auditions accidentally. Rehema explains that she was only meeting a friend at the National Theater when she decided to audition. A natural in front of the camera, it comes as no surprise she has always had dreams of becoming a television newscaster. She is also highly interested in marketing, and is soon to graduate from Makerere University with a degree in international business. She cites her other hobbies as reading and writing. She believes the IMANI production has been revealing and very different from any other production she has worked on; in comparison more professional. She is glad to have taken part in the feature and is even happier that this film will definitely set a mark in the still growing Ugandan film industry.
