been in the passenger seat. Utonga - A New Dawn During her recovery, she had discovered a new sound within herself. She felt that her scrape with death, followed shortly afterward by the birth of her second son, presented her with a new beginning in life, calling the new sound Utonga, meaning "dawn", and re-branded herself and her band as Edith weUtonga ("Edith of Dawn"). Acting Edith is also an actor. While at Amakhosi, she featured in productions including Athol Fugard's Hello & Goodbye, the Greek classic Lysistrata, Raisedon Baya's Tomorrow's People. Away from Amakhosi, she scored leading roles in Alone But Together by Wonder Guchu and also Silent Words by Tawanda Kanegoni, which made its debut at the Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA). It was Cont Mhlanga, founder of Amakhosi, who introduced her to the small screen by giving her a leading role as Mai Shupi in the TV drama Sinjalo. She won an award for her performance. She also toured locally and regionally with theatre production by ArtsLab called Standing in Pairs, which performed at the Grahamstown Festival.
