The Resurrection family took to social media to announce the great news, which Somizi (son of the late legend, Mary) reposted.
“The late Mary Twala Mhlongo, who plays the fearless widow in the film, was also named Best Actress.”
The film was made by a Mosotho filmmaker and directed by Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese.
“The film received a commendation from the jury, “for its highly original combination of approaches… that invokes ancient storytelling traditions for its modern tale of grief channeled into social action.”
