Actor Seputla Sebogodi says he never in his wildest dreams imagined winning another prestigious golden horn statue after his first one was stolen and vandalised upon recovery years ago.
But, as fate would have it, the veteran actor scooped his second South African Film and Television Award last week for his portrayal of Soshanguve rebel leader Moses inIn his emotional acceptance speech recorded in his living room during the virtual awards ceremony, Sebogodi broke into tears.
Sebogodi's first Safta that was destroyed during a home burglary was won in 2010 for his portrayal of notorious businessman Kenneth Mashaba in"It was confusing for me because sure they stole it, but it had my name on it, why break it?" Sebogodi recounts."When the old lady said that I wanted to say to her this is not like buying chips at the shop; you have to go through a process of giving your best and competing with the best in the industry.
Before he landed the role, Sebogodi had turned down three productions and was ready to quit acting. Sebogodi reveals that one production offered him a mere R3,000 to be part of the cast. Sebogodi and fellow veteran actress Sindi Dlathu agree that their wins could not have come at a better time - and it's all God's timing.
