Popular actress and singer, Neliwe Sibiya has been adjudged The Best Actress in Africa at Zikomo awards in Zambia.
This is actually her very first award in acting. She was nominated together with Amanda Oruh, Tersia Lesekane, Brun Njua and Nodula A Hainane.
She made this known in a post she made on her verified Instagram handle where she wrote;
“Thank you so much for voting. I got my first award in acting from @zikomoawards in Zambia. Best Actress Africa.”
In another post, she dedicated to all black African girls who have dreams. In that particular post, she wrote;
“This award is for all the young black Africans who have nothing but just a dream. All those who never sleep trying to reach their goals. All those who have to work 10 times harder because they are the ones who must change their lives and of their families. Thank you for voting for me. Ngyabonga.”
In an earlier post, the 28-year-old actress shared her thoughts about her role in the Durban Gen role. She made the post with the words;
“Shooting these hospital scenes was so close to my heart. And now they affecting my family. I went all OUT bringing this to life as They were always reminded of my late mother’s last days at the hospital, how much she fought sickness which was said to be cancer. She fought ey. She honestly thought she would be better Kanti no Death was too stronger than her. It was time.”
Yesterday I got a text from my sister that broke my heart so bad. She told me that since I started being in the hospital she stopped watching Durban because I look exactly like my mother and it reminds her of those last days. Mind you she passed away in her hands. I got sick the same time and now I am on my way home to recover and be with my family.”
