At the just-concluded Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards (AMVCA), women once again distinguished themselves through outstanding creativity, vision, and excellence, reaffirming their vital role in shaping African storytelling across film and television.
In this special spotlight feature, Duchess International Magazine proudly celebrates two exceptional women whose achievements reflect depth, innovation, and artistic brilliance within the industry.
We celebrate Thandi Ramathesele, whose remarkable work on Inimba earned recognition for Best Scripted Series and Best Indigenous M-Net Original. Her contribution reflects powerful storytelling rooted in cultural authenticity, strong narrative structure, and a commitment to producing content that resonates meaningfully with audiences.
We also honour Ajamolaya Bunmi, recipient of Best Art Direction for Colours of Fire. Her work showcases exceptional creativity and visual storytelling, bringing depth, atmosphere, and artistic precision to the screen while elevating the overall cinematic experience.
Together, they represent the strength of women working across both narrative development and visual design—proving that excellence in storytelling is built not only through words and performance, but also through vision, detail, and artistic execution.
At Duchess International Magazine, we remain committed to amplifying the voices, achievements, and impact of women who continue to shape the creative industry with innovation, purpose, and excellence.
Once again, congratulations to Thandi Ramathesele and Ajamolaya Bunmi on these well-deserved recognitions. Your contributions continue to inspire and elevate the standard of African storytelling.
