Christopher David Joshua Jaftha / 32 / Actor / Presenter / Model
How and when did your journey into the entertainment industry begin?
In 2000 when I left school. I did voluntary work for three years, we raised money for HIV and AIDS orphanages through industrial theater.
You carry so many titles, how do you find the time to juggle all your jobs?
It’s not easy but it’s a good problem to have. I try and prioritize and get as much done as possible, so I am able to free myself for the next opportunity.
How does a typical day in your life go?
Pray, eat, gym, work, eat, work, eat, work.
Do you attend all the events you get invited to?
I don’t attend all events I get invited to. I simply don’t have all that time. I’ll go if I have committed and work doesn’t get in the way.
How do you distress?
I go to the cinema on my own, take drives on my own, chill on my own.
What has the industry taught you?
Spread your wings as far and as wide as possible, you need to be versatile, be a jack of all trades and master of some.
Anything you would change about your journey so far?
I would’ve started investing in property at a much younger age, and probably studied Drama instead of Fine Art.
Would you spill the beans on any exciting projects coming up for you?
I have a cameo in a feature film to be released next year.
Some wise words to live by?
“You are what you repeatedly do, excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.” ~Aristotle
