Former Generations actress Winnie Ntshaba also congratulated Enhle on her achievement saying: “Well done nana❤️?❤️.”
The nine-part series is locally produced, written and directed by Kgosana Monchusi, Menzi Mzimela, and Juvaiś Dunn.
The film follows Grace Morotts, a married town nurse played by Enhle, who feels trapped and lost because of her abusive husband who is making her life a nightmare.
When she finally decides to kill her abusive husband, gangsters fleeing her failed armored transport robbery break into her home and take her hostage.
The story provides insight into the systemic social problem of gender-based violence (GBV) and shows how far GBV victims must go to be heard and protected.
