President Cyril Ramaphosa has lauded actress Leleti Khumalo and film producer Anant Singh for winning the prestigious Golden Nymph Award, at the 64th Monte Carlo Television Festival in Monaco, Europe.

While travelling from the G7 Leaders’ Summit in Canada, Ramaphosa had an encounter with Leleti at OR Tambo International Airport where she showed him her accolade for the short film Don’t Give Up.

“I had the good and proud fortune of bumping into our veteran star performer Leleti Khumalo. Leleti did have something to declare: she’d returned from the Monte Carlo Television Festival in Monaco, where she and acclaimed film producer Anant Singh had won the prestigious Golden Nymph Award for their work on the short film, Don’t Give Up, which portrays life on the streets of Johannesburg for a begging mother of two.

“I congratulate Leleti Khumalo and Anant Singh for flying our flag and for spotlighting one of our nation’s socioeconomic challenges,” he wrote on X.
