Many Generations The Legacy fans were excited to see South African actor Tumelo Matlala on Durban Gen after a few years of being offscreen. The actor, who is also a known gospel artist in Mzansi, just joined the show playing the role of Dr Skhumbuzo Khumalo and is ready to take the medical series by storm. Tumelo Matlala had fans ask about his age and grow interested in who the new doctor in town is in real life.
Tumelo Matlala’s role as Dr Khumalo in Durban Gen
The actor joined the show for the extended second season of the show when the series jumped to five years later after Dr Dhlomo died. The actor is a doctor that joined the hospital four years prior and has Dr Dhlamini rooting for him to be appointed Head of Surgery. This is because Dhlamini does not want to establish Dr Zondo, his wife, to avoid people accusing him of nepotism.
After interviews were contacted, Khumalo was appointed the Head of Surgery over Zondo, who did not take the news well and showed her disgust. However, Khumalo has also proved to be a hard-working doctor, and when lightning struck Mbali’s ceremony, he worked swiftly to help patients.
Tumelo Matlala’s age revealed
The actor takes on the role of an experienced doctor, who many fans assume is in his thirties because of his mature look. In real life, Tumelo was born on the 10th of August in 1991, making him 31 years of age as of this year. The actor is younger than many Durban Gen viewers may have assumed, and his looks make him perfect for taking on more mature roles than his actual age.
The actor is no stranger to making headlines as he has been in the spotlight for some time now, and Durban Gen is not his first role. Generations The Legacy fans know the actor as Detective Robert, who was part of the cast in 2019 and had some screen time.
