‘My time has finally come': Uzalo's Duduzile Ngcobo wins first award at 58
Supplied Duduzile Ngcobo was awarded Best Supporting Actress after only one previous nomination in 2021. She made her first red-carpet appearance at the awards and wore a cow skin outfit symbolising woman strength. She said her children and father played crucial roles in supporting her career from the beginning. Uzalo actress Duduzile Ngcobo recently received her first-ever recognition for her contribution to the entertainment industry, at the age of 58. The milestone happened at the Simon Mabhunu Sabela KZN Film & Television Awards, where she was honoured with the Best Supporting Actress in TV award. Fighting back tears, a visibly emotional Ngcobo repeatedly expressed gratitude to her children, neighbours, family, colleagues and supporters. 'I don't want to cry because my makeup will be ruined,' she said as tears flooded her eyes behind the spectacles she wore on the day of the ceremony. Speaking backstage to City Press shortly after accepting her award, Ngcobo was still overwhelmed. I can't believe this. Pinch me. Duduzile Ngcobo With a decade of acting experience, Ngcobo has appeared in productions including eHostela, Durban Gen, A Soweto Love Story and Isithembiso. Despite her lengthy career, this was her first award, following a single prior nomination at the same awards in 2021 when she was still with Durban Gen, which was later canned. The win also marked her first red-carpet appearance. 'What makes me happy is that all this happened at home, in KwaZulu-Natal, where my umbilical cord was buried. It surely means that you should never turn your back on home,' she said. Ngcobo said she was grateful that the awards organisers had been watching her journey since Durban Gen. She further said she was not counting the years she had been in the industry without any proper recognition; she was focused on the craft. 'Everyone has their own time. If your time has not yet come, do not be jealous of other people or wish for their things; wait patiently. If you work hard and with love, your things will find you,' she said. As she laughed, she added: My time has finally come. This award will always be with me. I am even going to sleep with it until December. Duduzile Ngcobo The Umakoti Wethu actress said she was especially grateful to her three children and her father, who had supported her from the beginning. She shared how her two older children used to drive her to auditions and helped her run lines, while her father assisted in translating scripts. She also thanked her neighbours, the Stained Glass TV's cast and crew, and her supporters, saying they all played a part in her journey. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Stained Glass TV (@stainedglasstv1) Ngcobo expressed appreciation for the Uzalo team, saying they gave her the respect she deserved as an elder and trusted her work. 'Sometimes when I am not at work, I feel lonely because when I am there, it is nice. I make so much noise, they reprimand me all the time. I thank the crew more than anything. I can feel their love,' she said. On the night of the awards, Ngcobo wore a cow skin outfit from head to toe, which she said symbolised the giant woman within her. She called herself a powerful woman, drawing inspiration from historical women figures, such as Princess Mkabayi kaJama and Queen Nandi kaBhebhe.

Tesla Makes The Safest Car In Europe But Autopilot Has Issues
Model 3 picks up top safety award in Europe. Photo: Wolfram Steinberg/dpa Photo: Wolfram ... More Steinberg/dpa (Photo by Wolfram Steinberg/picture alliance via Getty Images) Tesla sales might be plummeting across Europe, mainly due to CEO Elon Musk's misguided political aspirations, but on the safety front, the company's Model 3 just aced it. Tesla polls 359 out of 400 points to win safest car prize That's right folks, earlier this month, the Tesla Model 3 was named the safest new car on sale in 2025, according to the latest test results from the Euro NCAP. Out of the 20 newly tested vehicles, the Model 3 surged to the top of the list, polling an impressive 359 out of 400 possible points across all major safety categories. Just to reiterate, Euro NCAP has created its five-star safety rating system to help consumers, their families and businesses compare vehicles more easily and to help them identify the safest choice for their needs. Even though the Model 3 has been on the market longer than its competitors, the Tesla sedan continues to set a high bar for safety. Under Euro NCAP's stricter 2025 testing protocols, the Model 3 received 90% for adult occupant protection, 93% for child occupant protection, 89% for pedestrian protection, and 87% for its Safety Assist systems. The revised Tesla was complimented by Euro NCAP for its advanced driver assistance features such as the brand's automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, which performed admirably in a variety of test conditions. According to a WhatCar article, the car's child presence detection system and Intelligent Speed Assistance were also mentioned as notable features. Additional safety features praised by the NCAP organization include the Model 3's robust crash protection for both front and side collisions and pedestrian-friendly pop-up hood. While the Model 3 aced the safety tests, Euro NCAP testers raised concerns about driver expectations of the brand's Autopilot system. These concerns focused on the fact that some owners may overestimate the system's capabilities, which may lead to misuse or driver distraction behind the wheel. Even so, the Model 3 remained the highest-scoring vehicle tested under Euro NCAP's updated criteria this year. The fact that Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) Supervised, perhaps the company's most comprehensive safety suite, is not yet permitted on European roads makes the Euro NCAP's concerns all the more intriguing. Even though many European cities employ map layouts that are far more complex than many American street scenarios, Tesla says that with FSD Supervised, the Model 3 could move through inner-city streets with little human supervision. I'm not sure how Euro NCAP might test that, but you'll be the first to know here once they do.
