People of Note - Chris Jaftha

Loading player...
The musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is drawing huge crowds at the Theatre on the Bay and one of the most famous and iconic roles in the musical is that of Pharaoh which is played by Chris Jaftha. Chris is enjoying a very successful career in film, television, theatre and presenting and he has carved out a space as one of South Africa’s most dynamic and respected entertainers. He is clearly relishing his role as Pharaoh and I invited him on to People of Note to talk about the musical and about his career.

Chris Jaftha on People of Note this week. Sunday at 6pm and again on Thursday at midday, brought to you by PTP.
