South African actor Charl Timotheus starred alongside several iconic actors in Backstage including, Pam Andrews, Lorcia Cooper, Bonnie Mbuli, and more. The youth-target soap opera premiered on eTV in 2000, TVSA reported.

The Botton Line Production soap opera revolved around the lives of college students who attended Vulindlela College – a school of the performing arts located in downtown Johannesburg. Unfortunately, after seven years on screen, the show got canned. It was reportedly alleged that the primetime show was no longer competing well in comparison with its biggest competitors including 7de Laan and iSidingo.

WHERE IS THE ACTOR NOW?
When Charl Timotheus was 32, he was not happy with how he had let his body go and decided to transform his life by heading to the gym.

“I started training in 1998. I’ve competed as a powerlifter at a provincial and international level,” he said. He shared that he used everything that he had learned back then to help him with his fitness journey.

The 41-year-old got married to a beautiful woman known as Nietzsche. She graduated from Wits in 2019. The duo got engaged during their getaway in Lesotho in the same year.

Although South Africans may not see much of Timotheus in front of the camera, he has however remained active in the film industry and works on various projects as an executive producer, onscreen writer, director, and producer.

Looking at the side view of her daughter, it is easier to imagine that the young baby would grow to look more like her mother.

South African social media users haven’t reacted kindly to Nadia Nakai expressing her anger at clothing brand Amakipkip. This after the apparel company started advertising and selling AKA tribute t-shorts without the permission of the Forbes family. Heading online, the issue was first pointed out by AKA’s brother Stefan. Nadia then also shared a tweet about the matter.

 

 

 

 

And now social media users have mocked the rapper who they say has no right to be angered because she was “just a girlfriend”.On Monday this week, the Megacy was all riled up after learning that clothing brand Amakipkip designed AKA tribute T-shirts without consulting the late rapper’s family.

AKA’s brother Stefan broke the news after heading to Instagram to call the brand out.

“No shame amakipkipstore,” he wrote on IG stories.

Later on Nadia Nakai also slammed the company in the tweet.

“WTF!!! I thought Les just made one for himself,” wrote Nadia who also added:

“Then to repost Steff’s post like it’s nothing.. wow!!”

MZANSI WEIGHS IN
While most of the Megacy were left all hot and bothered over the matter and stood firm with Nadia, not everyone thought she had a right to be as upset as she was.

According to a number of tweeps, she was merely his girlfriend and shouldn’t have a say in these matters.

“Relax, you’re not part of the family!! You were just an Ordinary Girlfriend,” one person commented.

Another wrote, “ so ema nyana Ausi ……you were just a gf nje ……@nadia_nakai focus on ur career like other girls otlogele go phapha”

“ So you wanted to give consent as well,” a third added.

Meanwhile AmaKipKip has since issued an apology to the Forbes family and will be discontinuing the sale of the t-shirts.
