According to TimesLIVE, Mchunu was shocked to win that category because she admires and loves the other actresses who were nominated with her. She went on to say that the award does not grant her any bragging rights, but rather serves as a reminder that anyone can fulfil their dreams at any stage in life.

“Winning shows every woman that has the same background as me and the ones that think that it's too late, that anything is indeed possible.”

Sannah Mchunu's current character on Gomora is her major break in the industry. She previously starred in local productions including eKasi: Our Stories, Muvhango and other works from Mzansi Bioskop.

Mchunu went on to explain to TshisaLive that the reason she believes the character Zodwa blew up was due to her upbringing and the things she had seen.

Thembi Seete, who was nominated alongside her, was among the celebrities who poured nothing but love into her comment section.
