Nomzamo Mbatha Grilled for Calling Durban A Small Town
Nomzamo Mbatha Grilled for Calling Durban A Small Town. When a celebrity is overseas, many expect them to sell the country to the best of their ability. The likes of Tyla, as well as other musicians and personalities have done a great deal of speaking highly of South Africa on major international stages.
Nomzamo Mbatha is among the local celebrities, known for her global influence. The award winning actress has been involved with charity work and humanitarian projects in Africa and beyond. In 2017 she was appointed to be a High-Profile Supporter for the LuQuLuQu campaign, which led her to be chosen to be a Goodwill Ambassador at the United Nations Refugee Agency in 2019. In addition, she is an honorary member of the Golden Key International Honour Society. A few months ago, Nomzamo was one of the headline speakers at the Forbes Africa summit, held in Botswana.
Recently she was one of a collective of changemakers from around the world dedicated to addressing global challenges, with the aim of inspiring action and driving measurable progress. This year’s focus was on malnutrition, highlighting innovative advances in health, technology, and education that have the potential to make a significant impact globally.
While speaking with his peers, Nomzamo introduced herself, as someone from a small town called Durban. This did not sit well with South Africans, who feel she spoke so low of one of the biggest cities in Africa.
