Legendary actress Connie Chiume who plays the role of Mam Sonto on Gomora recently turned 70. She had a birthday party in Pretoria, Phil Mphela shared on Twitter. It’s very special because Connie has been on our screens since from a young age. Her journey began when she moved to Greece in 1977, this was where she discovered her love for art and drama. According to her biography she actually quit a teaching job for being an actress. So turning 70 and still working as an actress is a huge achievement.

 

 

 

Many celebrities attended the event, this includes her colleagues on Gomora. Israel Matseke Zulu, who plays Don on Gomora was also there, this was great because it’s known he wasn’t well. Months ago he shared that he had gangrene, which resulted in the amputation of one of his legs. After his surgery, he wasn’t really making a lot of appearances, so seeing him at the party would probably mean he is recovering well and getting better. This would also mean he might be getting back to our screens soon.
