Motlatsi’s role in House of Zwide as Molefe
Motlatsi Mafatshe takes in the role of Molefe in the fashion drama telenovela and has been holding it since the series debuted. Molefe is Onalerona’s uncle and a brother to Rea, who is Ona’s stepmother and the only mother she has known. Despite having his problems relationship-wise and business-wise, he is always looking out for his family, which has landed him in trouble recently.
With Isaac being in jail for kidnapping Ona, it now falls on Molefe’s shoulders to take care of the family. With that in mind, Molefe is letting it get to his head, which leads to a fight with Nkosi Zwide and then having the two men wedge war between the two families. Molefe has always been treated like one of the kids in the Molapo household because of the mistakes he is always making regularly. Also, because of his youthful features, the actor appears as if he is younger than he is.
