Carien Botha Carien Botha is a girl with loads of energy and ambition. She is a well-known South African television actress on Dstv's Afrikaans channel Kyknet.

She was born and raised in Pretoria. Her love for performing arts originated when she started singing and acting during her Primary Education, where she starred in her first singing solo performance at the age of eleven.

During her High School years in Hoërskool Oos-Moot she continued her love for entertainment and took part in the “Sound of Music” production at the Aula. She matriculated in 2005 and during her matric year she had the privilege to star in her first television debut - Polka.com commercial (Izziit?/Ja!) as a School Girl This popular commercial won the Pen Doring award for best advert.

In 2006 she was approached by the well known producer/ director /actor/scriptwriter Willie Esterhuizen who casted her in a 26 episode series called “Begeertes” on Kyknet as “Tiny” playing opposite Alvin Bruinders. It was a small role and she only featured in 9 episodes, but it was here where her career took off. Willie Esterhuizen saw potential in her and decided to give Carien a unique new loveable identity and character called “Blapsie”. It all started with her first feature film exposure during 2007 in the Afrikaans comedy “Poena is Koning” . During 2008 se was offered to feature in a second feature film, called “Vaatjie sien sy Gat”.

In 2009 Willie Esterhuizen came up with the idea of creating a Kyknet family series that stole a lot of public hearts. A 26 episodes Sitcom called “Molly en Wors “,Carien again got the privilege, with gratitude to play opposite Lizz Meiring, Willie Esterhuizen, Andrew Thompson, Marga van Rooy and Gerhard Odendaal as a Matric daughter. The sitcom was such a success that Molly en Wors 2 and 3 continued.

The character “Blapsie” progressed from a matric student to a college beauty student in 2010 and 2011.

Carien as “Blapsie” continued in her third feature film, called “Stoute boudjies” in 2010.She then decided to try something different from being an actress and decided to work behind all the glits and glam and got the opportunity to work as an assistant makeup artist on a feature film, called “Lien se lankstaan skoene”. She loved every moment of it and in 2012 she was the H.O.D. Makeup artist in n' Lewe met (Season 3) a medical and psychological show with Dr. Franco Colin on Kyknet, soon after, she helped out on the feature film “Babalas” as Make up Assistant for 3 days.

2012 was a challenging and blessed year, she came across Incense Productions and the proud producer Morne' Lane who produced “Hartsbegeertes”. This was quite a challenge, Carien was originally casted as a nurse, but then she got the privilege to take over the duties of H.O.D. makeup and first assistant director. It was here where Carien fell in love with the title as first assistant director and got the opportunity to be an A.D again in the true life drama of Willie Olwage, “Forsaken”, and also made a small appearance in the film that will be released 2015. One of her biggest achievements was being part of the cast of the International feature film “Leading Lady”and played the role of Katy. Directly after that Carien played the lead role of Theresa in an Afrikaans feature film “Rowwe Diamante” that will also be released 2015.

One of the most challenging things was writing her first script called ‘Reload’. This was also a true life drama of Francois de Jager that will be in cinemas in 2015.

Win a signed DVD sms Blapsie to 078 198 4969 incl your full name “Reload” was also the first film where Carien stepped into the big and challenging shoes of being the Director.

March 2015, she will be part of an exciting new film called Suiderkruis written by Inge Pohl culbert and will be co staring with Mia- Anne O'kennedy and Eddie de Jager.

During her off screen periods, Carien enjoys keeping busy with professional makeup on brides, matric farewells and fashion shows, in-house styling, and will be hosting drama and acting workshops for scholars.

Other experience Carien has includes: - a voice over in 2007 for “Baby Boom” speaking in a little girls voice.

- working as Production Assistant /Personal assistant and secretary. Doing everything from stage hand, dresser, assisting artists with backstage quick costume changes, make-up, and hair (Working with Joseph Clark, doing The Music of Queen) Carien offers ten years of experience and exposure within the entertainment industry.

Valentines day is around the corner and it is quite a special day for a lot of people, Carien finds it a bit different “ I don't think valentines day should only be one day, you must always try and do something special for the one you love, by this I don't mean gifts etc, just making a cup of tea for your spouse without him/her asking is perfect” But she thinks it's a great concept from a business point of view, it creates opportunity for event planners etc.

“This year I would love to go on a wild drive, drink pink champagne, and appreciate the breathtaking sunsets only God can create. Its important to make memories with your husband.”

NUUT OP DIE RAKKE Katerina se mojo Kristel Loots ISBN: 978-0-7993-7233-5 Kategorie: Romantiese komedie Prys: R214,95 Nee, die lyflike, die liefde en die huwelik is skynbaar nie vir ewig sinoniem met mekaar nie. Die jare, jou man se werk en jou kinders kom foeter tussen hierdie drie pilare rond en veroorsaak gevaarlike krake.

Katerina is in haar naugty forties en dis waar sy graag wil bly, want vir ’n vrou is haar vyftigste verjaarsdag ’n verskrikking. Katerina is amper daar en dit voel of sy haar mojo langs die pad verloor het; sommer ook die vlam wat daar eers tussen haar en Simon was. Haar man is moeg, sielsmoeg; te moeg om aan haar lyf aandag te gee. Simon werk hard, hy is siek daarvan om stukkende mense te probeer gesond dokter en wil landuit, Kanada toe!

Katerina probeer keer, maar dinge raak net te veel vir Simon en haar hele wêreld slaan bollemakiesie. Sy weet nie of sy kans sien vir Kanada nie en sy weet ook nie of sy kans sien om sonder Simon aan te gaan nie. Bowendien, Jennifer gaan ook Kanada toe. Jennifer is Simon se pragtige kollega. Jennifer is die naam wat Simon in sy slaap prewel.

Die tweeling is in hul storm- en drangdae en maak haar mal. Sy erken dit nie graag nie, maar… wel, Katerina is in haar oorgangsjare. Dalk het dit tyd geraak dat sy weer begin uitgaan en dan meer doen as om net ’n man te soen. Om alles te kroon, kom foeter ’n joernalis ook nog en dreig om haar donker verlede te ontbloot.

Tog, alles is nie hopeloos nie. Uiteindelik, in haar donkerste uur, besef Katerina haar mojo is nog lank nie verlore is nie; daar skuil nog baie passie en liefde in ’n vrou van vyftig.

The new Jetta - the ultimate package

The Jetta has been a winning brand for Volkswagen. Last year over one million Jettas were sold worldwide. The new Jetta launched in December 2014 is set to be even more popular. It is believed to be the ultimate Jetta package.

Combining new styling, an improved value offering and benchmark technology, the new Jetta GP will surpass the value offering of the current model and will without doubt exceed customers’ quality expectations of a A segment sedan.

Volkswagen has restyled the front and rear of the new Jetta while improving its aerodynamic properties for 10% less air drag .Sharper lines and creases with a signature tornado line that emanates from the headlights , travel along the shoulder line and end at the newly designed tail lights that feature LED indicators and brake lights.

The new Jetta design keeps the vehicle in line with the evolution of the current Volkswagen design language that debuted with the Golf 7 and has followed with the recently launched Polo. Another design feature that has transitioned from Golf 7 into new Polo, and now the new Jetta is the newly designed multi functional steering wheel and deep barrelled instrument cluster with multifunction display. All this keeps the Jetta fresh, yet it still retains its distinct masculine look that South Africans are familiar with.

Jetta has always been praised as a superior driver’s car in the A sedan segment, the new Jetta has amazing fuel efďŹ ciency and greater torque than its competitors, so you will have more driving enjoyment.
