For creatives everywhere, being nominated for an award is like getting a gold star from the universe. It’s a shiny beacon of recognition that says, ‘Hey, you’re doing amazing, sweetie!’ Now, imagine the excitement Nambitha Ben-Mazwi must have felt when she secured a nomination at the 2022 VN Global Media and Entertainment Awards.
Champagne bottles were likely popped, and joyous dances were probably performed in the living room.

After the high of the nomination, the real grind begins. Nominees work their tails off to get votes, pulling out all the stops—even investing their own money to boost votes. It’s like running a mini-campaign that would make any politician proud.
Nambitha surely navigated this gauntlet with grace, charm, and an Instagram post or hundred. She embarked on this journey with high hopes and perhaps a twinkle of anticipation in her eyes.
Fast forward to today, it seems Nambitha’s award is still playing an extended game of hide-and-seek! Imagine all the effort, the anticipation, and the work she poured into getting people to cast their votes.
Yes, dearest reader, Nambitha is still waiting for her Actress of the Year award. Remember that last year she took to Twitter to apologise to her fans, who kept on asking about the award. This is because they worked hard voting, and campaigning for votes.
Saying: “It’s August, 8 months later and I still have yet to receive my “Actress of the Year” award from @VuyoJoboda that you all voted tirelessly for me. I really don’t know what else to say when I keep getting asked, I am sorry guys. I know how hard you all campaigned for the votes.”
Vuyo Jodoba, the person who started the awards, recently shared her achievement on Twitter. Someone asked if Ben-Mazwi got her award, and the actress said that she still hasn’t received it.
“Questions that need answers sis. After you all voted for me, still zero award delivered,” Nambitha wrote said.
