These include: Best Actor in a Telenovela for iThonga, Best Actor in a TV Comedy for The Mabaso Family Reunion, and Best Actor in a Feature Film for Heart of the Hunter.
According to The Sowetan, Bonko did not expect to get nominated for Head of the Hunter and Mabaso Family Reunion because they were shot in 2024.
"It was a little mindblowing. Some of the projects, like Mabaso Family Reunion and Heart of the Hunter, were shot two years ago, and because I move on quite quickly from things, I didn’t expect them to get recognised," he was quoted saying.
Just recently, Bonko posted a collage of all the productions he has been on since making his acting debut on Showmax. He has starred on Red Ink, Marked and a new American action-drama series, The Nowhere Man, available on Starz.
"Sometimes I pause and look back… and all I can do is be grateful," he said as he wrote on the poster.
His wife, actress Lesego Khoza, gave her hubby his flowers for the amount of work he has done.
"It feels so incredible to witness your blessed journey so close. God is doing an incredible thing with you."
