Nomzamo Mbatha meets Bill Gates
South African actress and humanitarian Nomzamo Mbatha recently had a remarkable full-circle moment as she reunited with tech billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Mbatha was among the notable attendees at a high-profile event hosted at the African Union Headquarters to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The foundation, known for its global impact in health, education, and development, marked the milestone with dignitaries and changemakers from across the continent.
Taking to her Instagram, Nomzamo shared stunning photos from the celebration, where she was seen engaging with Gates and other influential figures.
She captioned the post: “Hosted the 25th year anniversary ✨🙏🏿 @gatesfoundation Thank you for 25 years of impact. Funny how we met 20 years ago and here we meet again in a different light. One day I will tell you the story of this full circle moment, my friends.”
Though she didn’t go into detail about their initial encounter, fans were quick to express admiration for her journey from a young woman with big dreams to a global ambassador and respected voice in humanitarian circles.
Mbatha’s presence at the event comes as no surprise.
Over the years, she has steadily cemented her status as a leader and advocate for social change, especially through her work with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and other global platforms.
