“[Terry Pheto] made it possible for young people to dream beyond SA borders, showing them that the Hollywood dream is attainable.” – GLAMOUR Magazine December 2019 issue.
“I’m proud and honoured to be one of the GLAMOUR Women of the Year 2019 recipients. Thank you GLAMOUR Magazine for the recognition. Role models are important. Growing up I never had anyone that looked like me that I could aspire to follow in their footsteps in TV & Film.
