"The Chiume family regrets to inform you of the passing of the international[ly] acclaimed award-winning actress Connie Chiume,” read part of a statement by her family. The cause of her death was not disclosed.
Mzansi is celebrating veteran actress Connie Chiume, best known for her starring role as Mam’Sonto, the township gangster disguised as a shebeen queen in the popular telenovela "Gomora", as she turns 68.
She may have drawn applause from around the world and captured the world's attention with her performance in Marvel's historic Hollywood blockbuster Black Panther but Connie Chiume's job prospects are about as dry as day zero.
