Executive producer Tsholofelo Semenya echoes cast’s sentiments
The executive producer Tsholofelo Semenya shared with Briefly News that it was finally time for these widows to tell their own story to everyone. She said:
"The individuals comprising the cast of Widows Unveiled have shared numerous decades alongside highly accomplished and well-known men, who have received acclaim and admiration.
"Now, it's their moment to narrate their stories—stories that frequently parallel those of familiar women. The encounter with widowhood goes beyond class, race, and social status, yet it's a narrative seldom portrayed on our screens. Each day, new widows join this community, emphasising the need to spotlight these women and their families as they embark on the journey to rebuild their lives."

Zama Ngcobo opens up about RHOD
In an earlier report, Briefly News spoke to Zama Ngcobo about her move into reality TV as well as what fans could expect from her appearance on The Real Housewives of Durban.
The media personality told the publication that she's as open-minded as can be but draws the line at entertaining nonsense.
