Thuso Mbedu bags International award, and South Africa rejoices with her.
The prestigious American awards called Gotham Independent Film Awards were held on the 29th of October.

The actress has gained a lot of recognition in the International scenes since she got the role of Cora. Last weekend, she got the Woman of the year award at the GQ Man of the year awards. She even landed a part to act alongside the legendary International actress Viola Davis in The Woman King. She will be one of the main cast, and shooting for the movie has already started.
The Mzansi actress has been nominated for an Emmy, which is an International American award. Some of the world’s biggest stars dream of getting that nomination.

She has been given the nod by Forbes magazine and nominated one of the 30 under 30 creatives.
