South Africa reality television star and presenter Nonkanyiso Conco, popularly known as LaConco, is in disbelief after she took home the Best Television Award last Saturday.
LaConco won the gong for the Mzansi Magic show Forever Thina at the 18th annual South African Film and Television Awards (Saftas).
The awards, hosted by Lerato Kganyago and Skhumba Hlophe, took place at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Midrand.
LaConco was competing with Emihle Matshawu, Govan Albert Whittles, Kuhle Adams, Dante Poole, Emo Adams, Devi Sankaree Govender, Jolene Martin, Mpho Modikoane and Nomalanga Shozi.
Taking to social media on Sunday, the former president Jacob Zuma’s baby mama penned a message reflecting on her win and how she is basking in glory.
“I am still numb, full of gratitude for the love you have shown me since the day you learnt of me,” she wrote.
I shall remain in my lane
“It is not long since I joined the entertainment industry, so I never ever imagined being on TV and winning a Safta.”
She thanked the production team and the channel that she worked with on the Showmax show for allowing her to gain back her identity.
LaConco also made mention of her family, the Zuma family, her friends, and her fans that voted for her.
“This is what this award means to me; I shall remain in my lane; there is no traffic. To continue being humble, kind, authentic, purposeful and keeping God as my anchor.” (sundayworld.co.za)
