Kgomotso Christopher Bags SAFTA Nomination for Best Actress in a Telenovela for Legacy

South African actress Kgomotso Christopher has been nominated for a South African Television award for her role on M-nets discontinued telenovela called The Legacy. The telenovela was last aired in September 2022, and is among the several telenovelas nominated for the 17th annual SAFTAs.

Kgomotso Christopher, has been nominated in the Best Actress in a Telenovela category. In conversation with TshisaLive, the actress said that this nomination came as a sweet surprise. In addition to this she has shared how this nomination is a “huge honour’ to her and in turn sharing her gratitude to the SAFTAs.

“It’s a huge honour to be nominated for Legacy season 2. We are a show that had two seasons and, perhaps the viewers will remember, it’s a show that is not coming back on M-Net. I was nominated last year in the same category for season 1. I am very grateful the work is acknowledged … We are happy that whatever work was done in the two seasons has been acknowledged in the SAFTAs nomination for this year”, she noted.
Kgomotso who played the role of Dineo Price notes that she has never been “challenged’ to play the role of a mother who is in aa multiracial family.

“I’ve never been challenged to play a role of a mother who is in a multiracial family, which a lot of South Africans can resonate with. It was lovely to reach into this rich woman who had this fantastic life”, the actor expressed. The actress continued by noting that the storylines were authentic and never shied away from tackling real societal issues.

“The storylines didn’t shy away from asking those questions from the micro aggression that we feel in society as women who are in these multicultural families. In the shoes of Dineo, what I can say is I got to feel and understand the discomfort of a post-democratic, multiracial South Africa. For me it was beautiful to portray it in a way that is not judgmental”, Christopher said.

Kgomotso Christopher (YV) sets the record straight on claims she’s returning to Scandal!

South African star Kgomotso Christopher is the acclaimed two-time SAFTA-award-winning actress who is behind some of the most recent iconic roles on local soapies. However, it can be argued that one of her most memorable roles to date is none other than Scandal’s Yvonne “YV” Langa.

However, in March 2020, Christopher made her temporary exit from the soapie. However, by December 2020, Christopher has officially left the soapie in order to play the lead on M-Net’s first original telenovela Legacy. But with the cancellation of the soapie, it was speculated that Christopher might have been making a comeback to Scandal! As reported:

Taking to Twitter, Kgomotso Christopher welcomed the news that Litlhonolofatso Litlhakanyane was returning to Scandal! As a result of her celebratory post, fans of the SAFTA award-winning actress then posed the question of whether or not she will return with the young actor.

Reason being that ahead of her departure from the soapie to lead the cast of the now cancelled M-Net original telenovela Legacy, Christopher was beloved as Tibi’s mother figure as the scrupulous villain Yvonne “YV” Langa. But Kgomotso first suggested that Tibi did just fine without her after her departure.

But when pressed on whether or not she will be making her return. More so as Legacy has been cancelled and there has not been an announcement suggesting that Kgomotso is working on any new projects since. It seems that there is a great chance that Kgomotso might return to reprise the role which earned her one of her SAFTA awards.
However, at the time, Christopher would not give a direct answer. But as excitement started to take over in the belief that she was returning, Christopher finally shared the truth.

Taking to her Twitter, Kgomotso Chistopher finally shared the truth about her speculated return to Scandal! She confirmed that she was not returning as she tweeted a reply stating:

“Kealeboga ngwana Sesi hore o ba payisitse batho ba Mzansi what what. [Thank you my sister that you have told the country about the possibility of my return]. Bajwetse hore ba lora, ebile ba lora motshehare eseng bosiu. [But please tell them that I have not returned to Scandal!]. Empa he [But] maybe Scandal! producers will make it happen. But I can confirm again, I’m not part of any Scandal! storylines.”
