The cast and crew of Gomora recently honored veteran actress Connie Chiume by presenting her with flowers while she could still smell them.
The veteran actress received the lifetime achievement award at the recent Safta ceremony.
Sanaa Mchunu took to Instagram to share the emotional moment when the stars congratulated Connie on her award. “Yesterday we celebrated our Queen Lifetime Achievement winner baba Safta 2022 halala Connie halala,” she wrote.
Taking to her own Instagram timeline Connie thanked her colleagues. “To my colleagues at Gomora you have touched my hearts! I love all of you! May we continue to inspire and touch our people e… may we all continue to grow,” she wrote.
On October 29, the seasoned actress will also receive a Hollywood African Prestigious Award in the United States. Looking back on her journey, she says she has had many highlights.
Speaking to the press, the Gomora star expressed gratitude for the recognition. “It means a lot to me as an actress to see my work taken seriously globally. This is the second award I am getting from overseas.
“The first time I was on stage was in Greece in a play titled Shola Shola. That opportunity was magical. I was also cast in a classic American opera and I wasn’t even trained in opera.”
“This is a remarkable coincidence, because I will be in Los Angeles for the premiere of Black Panther (Wakanda Forever), which is on the 26th.”
