Septimius Awards were held in Amsterdam, Netherlands and she stunned the stage with a beautiful acceptance speech. Not only did she say touching words but she looked ravishing.

Outfit of the night

Nunu looked very gorgeous with a subtle outfit with a touch of regal. She was wearing a v-neck shweshwe print dress with a tight waistline. Her makeup was full of glam. For her hairstyle, Nunu was wearing a blonde curly wig styled in a voluminous back ponytail.

Speech

When she accepted the award she started by greeting the entire audience. Nunu expressed she did not expect the award. She showed gratitude to the Septimius Awards for existing and honouring them. The actress later thanked her director Zuko Nodada for trusting her with the role.

What’s a good acceptance speech without a fun fact? Nunu shared she’s been in the acting industry for 10 years. For the first time in her acting career, she worked with a black cinematographer.

Other nominees
