PRESIDENT ZUMA TO CHARLIZE THERON: I'M PROUD OF YOU

President Zuma congratulated South African Hollywood actress Charlize Theron for receiving the World Economic Forum (WEF) Crystal award at the World Economic Forum.

The ceremony was on January 22 where she was awarded for her humanitarian work to fight HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria for the Global Fund.

President Zuma in a statement said, "We are proud of our Charlize. She has succeeded in an extremely competitive environment and is a visible and hardworking ambassador for her country. We wish her success in every venture she undertakes. I assured her that South Africans love her and wish her all the best."

Last year the award went to another South African, Yvonne Chaka Chaka.
