With South African film and television finally receiving long-overdue global recognition, seasoned actor and singer, KB Motsilanyane, believes its not just a moment its a movement.
For Motsilanyane, who has spent nearly 30 years shaping the local entertainment space through her music and acting, the current spotlight on SA talent feels both thrilling and well-earned. She claims it has pushed local talent to evolve beyond performance and into the realm of storytelling, producing and owning the creative process.
I get filled with so much pride when I see how the global attention has caused many creatives to evolve and grow within the industry, Motsilanyane said in an interview with Sowetan.
From being actors to becoming writers, producers, businesses and so on to the breakthroughs of duly earned international acclaim. Kudos to our immensely talented stars.
The 46-year-olds evolution is mirrored in her latest role as Wendy Sedibeng in Mzansi Magics hit telenovela, Genesis.
