Johannesburg - Terry Pheto’s appearance at the British
Independent Film Awards, where she is up for a best supporting actress award,
will be the crowning event of a very impressive year for her.
Pheto will stand alongside other nominees, including
Naomie Harris and Shana Swash, after being nominated for playing Naledi Khama,
the younger sister of Botswana’s first president Seretse Khama, who is played
by David Oyelowo, in the upcoming film A United Kingdom.
“Because it shows that if you commit to something,
regardless of how big or small your role, the world is watching.”
Accepting the role
Pheto says the role in A United Kingdom came
her way last year.
“It all started, I think, in the middle of 2015, when I
was given a script and I was asked to audition. And I auditioned, got a call
back, and then I was given the whole script,” she says.
“Once I got the whole script, I knew I had to fight for
it, that I had to be a part of this story, because it is such a beautiful
story. But it’s also a new and fresh story – even though it’s not new,” she
says.
“Many of us kind of know the story of Botswana, and that
Seretse Khama married a white woman, but we didn’t know how they met, how they
came to be together and how beautiful their love was.
“And I also just loved my character and how strong she is
in the film, and how family-orientated; and that it’s all about sisterhood.
Naledi is a silent, proud
and stoic woman who will not bend to patriarchy and the virulent racism in the
former Bechuanaland and Britain.
“I think she would have done what any
sister would have done – protect her brother, her legacy, and once she realised
that her and her new sister-in-law were on the same team, she embraces her and
protects her, and says ‘let’s hold each other’.”
Moulding her character
Pheto auditioned for the role of Naledi because, “more than anything, no
one knows who Naledi is, and for the
first time people will go: ‘Oh, Seretse had a sister and they loved each other;
they were very close.’
Unfortunately, Pheto was unable to
meet Mme Naledi because she was very ill while the film was being shot, and
then passed away a few months later. So Pheto relied on people who knew Naledi to help her mould the character.
“In a way, she [Naledi] represents the women of Botswana, because we don’t see too
many of them. She’s very strong; she’s present and I love that she is there.
And she knows who she is.”
Pheto says the movie is important for
South African audiences because it shows how apartheid had such a devastating
effect on neighbouring countries, including Botswana.
“I played Mama Winnie Mandela
opposite Laurence Fishburne. There are other things I am busy with that will
come out in the new year,” she says.
I am happy with my career.”
A United Kingdom opens in
cinemas on Friday, 9 December.
