"I know everybody in New Zealand has been thanked," she said in her emotional acceptance speech. "So I'm going to thank everybody in South Africa, my home country." Charlize jetted into South African heroine's welcome this week. President Mbeki sent a note saying: "We are all immensely proud of this, our South African daughter. We wish her well." She can be heard chatting to South Africans from all walks of life on M-Net website http://www.mnet.co.za This is one of the few interviews she'll be conducting during what has been described as a low-key visit.   KTLA5: Actress Theron Gets Monster Coverage IOL, South Africa: Charlize planning to sponsor modern DNA USA TODAY: Charlieze Theron Honored by South Africa Sunday Times, South Africa: Charlize Taken By Surprise
