Incredible actress Terry Pheto continues to fly the SA flag high. She’s just been nominated for another international film award. She’s been selected as a nominee for Best Supporting Actress by the British Independent Film Award (BIFA). This is for her portrayal of Naledi Khama in the film A United Kingdom on former Botswana Prime Minister, Seretse Khama. Terry plays his sister, Naledi Khama.
Here’s a synopsis of film:
A United Kingdom tells the inspiring true story of Seretse Khama, the king of Bechuanaland (modern Botswana), and Ruth Williams, the London office worker that he married in 1948 in the face of fierce opposition from their families and the British and South African governments. Seretse and Ruth defied family, apartheid and empire – their love triumphed over every obstacle flung in their path and in so doing they transformed their nation and inspired the world.
Congrats Terry! We can’t wait to watch the film which hits SA cinemas next month.
Here’s the trailer.
