Samkelo Ndlovu tired of hearing 'you're pretty for a dark skin girl'

Cape Town - Actress Samkelo Nldovu wants people to stop saying, "you're pretty for a dark skin girl" and we love her for it.

"Stop saying this thing! Liberate yourself and see that you are still a enslaved if you think like this. If you still separate black people by their shade of black," she wrote on Instagram.

She ended the post by saying, "I am not beautiful in spite of my skin, I'm beautiful because of it!"

Many Instagram followers praised her for her comment, saying, "preach" and "power."

Stop saying this thing!! Stop thinking it!! It's not a real thing. Liberate yourself and see that you are still a enslaved if you think like this. If you still separate black people by their shade of black. This is AFRIKA, the factory of black people. Where black people are made. And we all come in different shades and sizes. I am not beautiful in spite of my skin, I'm beautiful because of it!! #MelaninRich #KantiSikuphi #ThisIsAfrika #GetWithTheProgramme #IfYouCantSayItToYourMomThenDontSayItToMe
