For the first week, Yvonne Eddie emerged as the winner of the challenge. Entries have opened for Week 3 and a link showing the contenders for week 2 will be uploaded soon on the Screenlab Africa Instagram page.
Yvonne Eddie presented an emotionally wrenching performance. She played a character who was struggling with self worth. The character in question grappled with weight loss and the loss of her child, placing all the blame on herself. Apart from being captivating, Yvonne’s performance is a very much relatable issue, as it is an everyday battle faced by most people in society.
