In another post, Winnie wrote, “I am forever grateful for the wonderful 5 years spent with the cast and crew on House Of Zwide…. What a bunch of talented, brilliant, kind, souls I worked with. My prayer to God is may we all experience the unity and love in our work places, same as the one we had Bomb Productions and House of Zwide. Damn I love you and miss you ALL!”
