“We took home the award for BEST TV DRAMA and 11 other trophies in different categories. 10 000 jobs were created from this show, hundreds of DAILY cast and crew who show up everyday with INSPIRING EXCELLENCE.”
“The amount of respect I have for my fellow actors, the deep deep love for the crew… my directors, hair and makeup, costume design, my language coaches… the list goes on.”
“It was my first time as an Executive Producer and the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, with the GREATEST reward which was- working with the titan that is @zwabheka & @bomb_productions , the visionary that is Angus Gibson and the solid mind that is Nhlanhla Mtaka. The leadership of @sasapiliso , Calvo Mawela and the indelible support of @multichoice_group.”
“They encouraged me, they supported me and they have truly lifted me in so many ways. I continue to learn, to desire growth and hopefully to inspire all women and girls- to always hold on to the purpose of your life, its timing and to trust the process. I am living proof, of what the mercy of God can do.”
