Are Linda Majola and Raphael Griffiths related in real life?
Fans find similarities between Linda Majola and Raphael Griffiths; many think the two are related in real life. TiEM News tried to gather information about the two, but we conclude that the actors are not even related; they do not know each other in real life. We didn’t manage to get hold of them to confirm, but we managed to gather their biography from the following sources : (Briefly SA)
Linda Majola ( Langa from The Wife)
Linda Majola is a South African actor famous for playing Langa in The Wife. In the show, he portrays a queer man who struggles to find his balance in a world full of homophobes, a role that he owns so well. Who is he in real life?
Langa is motivated to get the respect he deserves after facing prejudice and rejection due of his sexual orientation. Despite his acting realism, people have been interested about Linda Majola’s sexuality off-screen.
Linda was born in Bonela, Durban, in 1996, yet he has not publicly given anything about his birthdate, family, or childhood. As of 2023, he is 27 years old.
Linda has been at a crossroads in pursuing her passion for acting and being a chef. He perfected his cooking dexterities at the Durban University of Technology. He also worked as a chef at Hilton Hotel in Sandton for a stint. In 2020, he moved back home to open his food truck business called The Humble Café. The café sold mouth-watering dishes like fried chicken and beef. However, he had to close the business in February 2023.
Linda made his acting debut as Langa on The Wife, which catapulted him to stardom. It also allowed him to work on The Wedding Chef, a cooking show he hosts on SABC1. Langa is Hlomu’s twin brother in The Wife, a young man who fights to survive amid homophobes.
Raphael Griffiths: (Zithulele from Imbewu)
Raphael Griffiths, who played Vusi in Muvhango with no prior acting experience, managed to steal our hearts. He just revealed his mixed origins, which he had kept hidden for fear of racist backlash.
The young actor has been quite private about his personal life, only recently opening up about his Zambian roots. His early struggles with social media and cyberbullying are likely the reason behind his insistence on privacy.
Raphael Griffiths’ origin story was previously kept hidden because he was afraid to share his mixed ethnicity owing to xenophobic concerns in South Africa. Between 2000 and 2008, there was an increase in violence in South Africa as “foreigners” were assaulted and killed by xenophobic bigots. However, the gravity of the war has now waned, and Raphael Griffiths’ parents’ nationality no longer has to be hidden.
In 2009, he made his on-screen debut as a presenter on the show QBase28. Unfortunately, the young presenter almost lost out on the opportunity to host the show, but Griffiths made such an impression that SABC 2 publicized a hunt for the young presenter.
He continued to host various shows until he landed his role in Muvhango in 2013 which took him on the path towards acting.
Conclusion
It’s really possible in this world that people can have the same similarities, including their looks, to the extent that we might think they are related. But on this topic, Linda Majola and Raphael Griffiths, according to their biographies, are not related at all, but in the future, we need them to act on a TV show as brothers.
