More than 13 years have passed since the e.tv soapie Backstage went off the air and the talented cast performed their last showcase.

We were first introduced to the young students who attend the Vulindlela College, a school for the performing arts, in downtown Johannesburg in 2000.

As you may know and love, Backstage was cancelled which of course, the fans were devastated after being left on a cliffhanger.

All the fans not only fell in love with the cast but developed a true connection to the storyline and the cast

1. Baby Cele (Katlego Rathebe)

2. Lorcia Cooper (Charmaine Jacobs)

3. Clint Brink (Shawn Jacobs)

4. KB (KayBee)

5. Pam Andrews (Frankie)

6. Katlego Danke(Keketso Chaka)

7. Charl Timotheous(Ziggy)

8. Loyiso Mangena(Chippa)

The reason for cancellation may have arisen from the stiff competition from rival soap operas, such as SABC 1’s Generations, SABC 2’s 7de Laan and SABC 3’s Isidingo.
