The celebrated actress and radio presenter Thando Thabethe made waves at the South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTA’s) when she scooped the coveted award for Best Actress in a TV Comedy for her lead role on the Netflix 3 part movie, ‘How to Ruin Christmas: The Baby Shower.’
The media personality admitted that she never anticipated the SAFTA win. She said: “I don’t think anyone can expect it, right? The people I was up against are very good — Tali’s Baby Diary is a popular show. So I think I was in great company. It would be presumptuous for me to think ‘It’s yours,’ but I was delighted when it was.”
According to TimesLive, Thando Thabethe’s win was even more remarkable since she was nominated for two completely different genres. She also got a nomination for Best Actress in a TV drama for her role in season 3 of ‘Housekeepers.’
Reflecting on her achievement, Thando said: “I think that’s awesome. An actor dreams of having range, and to be nominated in two completely different genres speaks to that. I was in love with the character I played in Housekeepers, also in season 3. So, a lot of work went into that, and that nod meant a lot.”
Thando Thabethe currently hosts a radio show on 947.
