Nomzamo Mbatha, the talented South African actress known for her captivating performances, achieved another milestone this week by winning the Best African Actress award at the esteemed 2024 Septimius Awards held in Amsterdam. Mbatha currently stars as Nandi in the popular Mzansi Magic series Shaka iLembe, a role that has not only showcased her acting prowess but also solidified her place in the spotlight of international cinema.

The Septimius Awards is a notable international ceremony that celebrates excellence in films, documentaries, short films, animations, television shows, and screenplays. As per the organization’s vision, its goal is to highlight and honor films and projects from around the globe, granting awards to the top nominees during its annual event. “What makes the Septimius Awards unique is our approach to three categories: Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Film. Unlike most conventional award ceremonies, we have decided to split these three categories by continent. This creates a greater global representation of talent,” the organization explains on its website. This innovative structure not only diversifies representation in the film industry but also elevates the recognition of talent from underrepresented regions.
