Ashley Callie




It is with grief that I have to report the death of one of South Africa's finest actresses. Ashley Callie died yesterday, friday 15 February, due to injuries sustained during a vehicle accident. She was 33 years old.

"The young Miss Callie was special because her life is a testament of the unmistakable African talent that has emerged in the post-apartheid society to capture and reflect the essence of change and transformation through the small screen

"Her rise to continent-wide recognition was essentially linked to the multi-award winning soapie, Isidingo which has established itself as the ultimate yardstick of a meaningful and relevant television production that is intuitively connected to the spirit of a new society." Said Pallo Jordan, minister of Arts and Culture.

Ashley Callie was best known for role as Lee Haines on local soapie Isidingo. She won a 2006 Best Actress award is one of four actresses nominated for this year's Stars of Mzansi Awards.




My prayers and thoughts are with the Callie family during thier time of grief.

Ashley, rest in piece. You are, and will always be missed.
