A very sad moment in South Africa,  Thuso Mbedu posted on Twitter this morning that " South Africa is burning" but got a different reaction.  Some push the narrative that this issue only affects KZN  but others are in support of  Thuso Mbedu.  

South Africa is burning

Thuso Mbedu has been doing big things ever since she bagged her role on The Underground Railroad, and best believe she is getting recognised for it too. 

News just dropped that our gurl is up for an international award. Hollywood Critics Association posted on social media, revealing that Thuso has been nominated for one of their TV Awards. 

Thuso is up against the likes of Kate Winslet and Elizabeth Olsen for the Best Actress in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or Television Movie award.

M A S E N Y A. Sports medal @masenyamakola Wena American! South Africa is burning where?

@ThusoMbedu - Umama wakho iAmerican. Asingaphaphelani.



@ThusoMbedu Don’t flatter yourself. I don’t need or want your attention, Clarence. If you knew about my existence before this tweet I can tell you now that you haven’t known about me for long, and you know what, I was inhaling and exhaling just fine.



@ThusoMbedu The thing is you don’t know me and you never will. You will claim that I have changed and BECAUSE I don’t know you, I feel no need to prove myself to you.


Let them come. Are we going to pretend that it won’t effect the rest of the country in some way, shape or form? Let them come. I’d say the very same thing if it was happening in the Western Cape or the Free State or the Eastern Cape Woman shrugging kuyasha and it will effect a lot of people.
