Reginald Hufkie

Reginald Julius Hufkie, also known as Reggie Peace, was born into an artistic family. He grew up in the underprivileged community of Schauderville in Port Elizabeth. He started participating in long-distance running when he was 7. His mother passed away when he was 12 and his father when he was 13. After this he landed in a children’s home.

At age 14 he started writing, rapping and singing. He also became a competitive provincial race walker during high school.

Sport and arts became an escape for the young man. In 2012 he moved to Johannesburg to study at the University of Johannesburg. His attention shifted to his artistic talents after this.

He signed with Talent ETC Artist Management while at university. Since leaving university, Reginald has featured in many films and TV shows. He is also pursuing his music, writing and speaking career. You might have seen him on Generations: the legacy, Huis Lelieveld, Desert rose, Swartwater, 7de Laan, Vetkoekpaleis, Poena, the award-winning film Cowboy Dan, and recently, his first film as a writer/actor, Vlamme. In 2021 he also released his first album called Nuwe lewe.New life.

Herschelle Benjamin: "Kan mens familie of bloedlyne sny of laat gaan as dit jou nie meer ondersteun in jou aspirasies of lewe nie? Ek het nie ’n antwoord nie. Ek dink vir elkeen sal dit anders wees om dit binne hulself te ondersoek."
