Khalilah Camacho Ali, the former wife of world boxing champion, the late Muhammad Ali, visited South Africa for the first time, to work on a movie project with US based Hartquist Productions.
Khalilah, who is based in Florida in the US, was invited as the chief guest at an event co-hosted in Laudium, last Friday (Jan 21) by the Minara Chamber of Commerce and the Pretoria Muslim Women United. The organisation is a combined banner of all Muslim women groups in Pretoria hosting charitable and social welfare events, with a Muslim ethos.
Asgar Mahomed, director of the Minara Chamber of Commerce, who hosted Camacho Ali in Pretoria and Johannesburg, said: “We are working on producing a movie on South African boxer, Gerrie Coetzee, titled Against all Odds. It will be directed by Koos Roets and produced by Andre Scholtz and executive producers Menzi Thabede, Mahomed Akbar Khan and myself.”
Khalila also visited the Esquire offices in Midrand and autographed a poster of herself together with the legendary boxing champion, the late Muhammad Ali.
