This would be a deserving addition to her list of awards which include two South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTA). At this year's award ceremony, Kim won Best Actress in a TV Drama for Reyka.
According to Drum, Kim is Nominated for Best Actress in the series where she plays Reyka Gama.
Speaking to the publication, Kim spoke so highly of the series and spoke about the plot which makes it such a success.
“Reyka has a fantastic story. It’s about a girl who was taken from her single mother when she was 12 years old, she escapes her capturer years later. She then grows up to be a criminal profiler and she has her own daughter.
“The story is heavy, yet so captivating and it’s directed and edited so well that after the first episode you are sucked in, and you just want to know what will happen next because of the cliffhanger. It is a very intense, graphic and disturbing story that has been done so beautifully.”
Speaking on her nod, she said this shows that working hard bears great results.
“This serves as validation to our entire Reyka team that hard work and commitment does not go unnoticed. Congratulations Team Reyka. I saw a quote this morning: ‘You can get to where you want to go from exactly where you are.’ Thank you to the International Emmys for the incredible nomination. Thank you for the opportunity to share our show with the world. South Africa has so many stories to tell,” she said.
This nomination makes Kim the fourth South African actress to receive one. In 2007, Brenda Ngxoli got her Nod for her acting on Home Affairs, Lerato Mvelase also represented Home Affairs with a Nod in 2010 lastly Thuso Mbedu got hers in 2017 and 2018 for her role in Is'thunzi.
