UZALO and The Queen actress, Thabsile Zikhali, is getting recognition outside Mzansi.
The 29-year-old from KwaMashu, KZN, has won the Shining Star Africa and Scream Awards. It has many nominations for the African Continental Awards.
Now, Thabsile, who plays Constable Biyela in Uzalo, is nominated at the Africa Choice Awards to be held in Lagos, Nigeria on Sunday, 3 March.
She's nominated under The Viewers’ Choice category with Faith Nketsi, Yaya Mavundla, Blue Mbombo, Blue Aiva, and Kayleigh Schwark.
Thabsile told Daily Sun that she was happy that her hard work on TV is recognised continentally.

“The recognition motivates me to work harder. It always makes me happy to see that I’m even recognised outside my country.
“I do get a nomination, but what's surprising is that about 90% of my nominations are from outside the country, and I’m happy that I've won several awards outside the country,” she said.
Thabsile, who played Sweety in Rockville, said she also hoped that she'll get more recognition in Mzansi.
She scooped Best Newcomer at the Scream Awards in 2021, and also scooped Best Female Actress at Shining Star Africa in 2023.
Other Mzansi stars are also expected to shine and fly Mzansi's flag higher in Nigeria during the Africa Choice Awards to be held in March.
TV stars Thobani Nzuza for Isitha: The Enemy, Zolisa Xaluva for Smoke & Mirrors, Pallance Dladla who made his name in Isibaya, Sthembiso Khoza who made his name in The Queen, My Brother’s Keeper Sdumo Mtshali, Thapelo Mokoena, Mpho Sibheko and Ayle De Morny will compete in the Best Male category.
