Talented actress Kgomotso Christopher has done it again. The multi-award winning actress has been nominated for a SAFTA in the Best Actress category for her portrayal of Dineo Price on Mnet’s Legacy.
“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 said, according to TshisaLIVE.
Kgomotso took to Instagram to thank SAFTAs for her nomination and congratulated her team from Legacy.
“Congratulations to all my fellow nominees and my @LegacySA family…@tshedzapictures for all the nominations received????????. Shatèeeee????” she said in her post.

When speaking about the show Legacy to TshisaLIVE, she expressed that she loves to play roles which she regards as “challenging.”
“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.”
She further claims to live by a mantra that says as long as her work narrates conversations and experiences of other people across the world and makes them ask uncomfortable questions, she has done her job.
“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.”
