Connie Chiume's daughter Nothando appeals for support to return to Los Angeles.

Nearly two years after the passing of legendary actress Connie Chiume, her daughter, Nothando Mabuza-Chiume, is asking for public support as she prepares to return to Los Angeles to continue pursuing her dream of building an international career in the entertainment industry.

The actress and creative recently launched a BackaBuddy campaign, titled “Road to Los Angeles”, where she opened up about the emotional journey that led her to make the decision.

In an honest post shared on Instagram, Mabuza-Chiume admitted she had wrestled with whether to ask for help but realised that “sometimes faith requires you to be seen.”

She said that while many assume she is doing well, the reality is that she has been quietly carrying grief, pressure and the weight of expectations while trying to rebuild her life.
