The Woodridge community proudly congratulates Old Woodridgean Ezra Mabengeza (Class of 1992) on his outstanding achievement and well-deserved recognition for his remarkable performance in Sew the Winter to My Skin.
Ezra’s portrayal of the legendary outlaw John Kepe captivated audiences and critics alike, showcasing the depth of his talent and the power of South African storytelling. His work in the film has helped shine a spotlight on our country's rich history and world-class film industry.
As a Woodridge old boy, Ezra continues to inspire future generations through his dedication, passion and excellence in the arts. His success is a reminder of the incredible impact that Old Woodridgeans are making both nationally and internationally.

Congratulations, Ezra, on this wonderful honour. The Woodridge family celebrates with you and wishes you continued success in your career.

Our wealth is in our hearts…#breathe #bestill #listen #innerchild #innocence
