“I found out the day we buried our beloved Scandal! colleague, Bra Sandy. As we drove to the cemetery after the service, I got a chance to turn on my phone and in flooded all the messages of congratulations on social media.

“It had been a very somber week for the production. The moment I found out was bitter sweet and surreal.”

Contribution

“Showcasing local content helps to generate and grow South African audiences. The body of work and the practitioners that get to be highlighted also act as a source of inspiration for the next generation of arts practitioners,” Kgomotso said on the contribution of the awards on local content.

For Kgomotso therefore, a vehicle of assessment is an important step in the development of the industry. It is also a way of evaluating where it is making breakthroughs in storytelling and where it needs to improve.
