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.

1.I am a Soweto-born and bred singer. My music is proudly African and I love exploring the different ethnic sounds. My songs are thought-provoking, and I express my views to give people something to think about, be it about everyday life issues or our political and economic landscapes.
2. Many people know my music, but do not know Nomisupasta. As a creativity-driven artist, I focused a lot on my art and overlooked the importance of putting my name out there. I now understand that as a musician, I need to market myself and work harder.
3. I was honoured to represent my country when I performed at the United Nations General Assembly last year. This was as part of a programme to celebrate the transformative power of the arts. I was nervous and excited, as I knew that I was representing our continent. It was such a great experience. So far, my career has been amazing because in 2011, my debut EP won a SAMA. I have also worked with DJ Black Coffee, and some of my songs have been sampled by American producer 9th Wonder. I am having fun and growing as an artist.
4. My new music video is amazing. It’s about a man who does not want to commit. It explores the questions that women ask when they find themselves in a similar situation. It is an absolute must-watch! The visuals are captivating and authentic, because it was shot in Ghana and Cape Town.
5. My sisters Thandiswa and Ntsiki advised me never to give up. This industry has many ups and downs; sometimes, it gets hard to keep going. I listened to their advice – I will continue pushing on, because I love music.
Here’s her amazing new music video. We love it. You?
