Makgofe Moagi is one of the many South African actresses who slayed a role so much that people confused her on-screen character and life character. Her role in Skeem Saam sparked a lot of discussions and debates all over social media. Some areas in the Limpopo province named her the face of side chicks on social media. Makgofe Moagi’s age stuns Mzansi as people realize that the actress is older than she looks.
The Skeem Saam actress rose to fame in South African entertainment scenes when she landed a job as a suitcase model in the hit show Deal or no Deal. The actress who always knew that her place in the world was in front of the camera made a name for herself in the modelling industry.
However, before Makgofe was a model on the M-net game show, she was a presenter on the SABC 2 talk show Motswako. She held that hosting gig for two years, from 2005 to 2006. That’s the job that made her a big name in the entertainment industry.
She is older: South Africans can’t believe Makgofe Moagi’s age.
