Taking to social media, Nomzamo, who does extensive work in the philanthropy business, reflected on the wonderful night which was filled with the glits and the glam as well as laughs and drinks.
"Being named among the #TIME100Next honorees in a year that has been full of so many blessings felt different for me. I reminded myself to be still and truly inhabit the moment. Because of the busy nature of my life, the constant pull to what’s next and how fleeting things can be, I hardly have the time to savour and truly feel the beauty of what a moment like this really means," she said.
Mbatha said she was seated among joyful people who exchanged laughs and meaningful conversations with her.
"My table was the most joyful in the room; we shared so many laughs and meaningful conversations. And oh boy! Being on stage was daunting but I felt empowered and so affirmed and then to toast with my peers and fellow class of ‘25 felt euphoric - these are people who dare to imagine a future beyond the constraints of their beginnings … and I now look at my well of gratitude and I am just REALLY happy for younger me whose circumstances looked very very different once upon a time. Remember this - you’re not crazy for the life you see for yourself beyond your current horizon."
