Soapie Opera Actors Who Are Starring In Several Drama Series Right Now
Of late the South African entertainment industry has become a reckoning force not only in Africa but the World at large.
At the same time, talented South African actors have made waves across the globe with their stellar performances. No doubt the entertainment industry in South Africa has made many overnight celebrities rewarding their craft with fame.
While most South African actors are struggling to get a single role, some actors are so high-in-demand that they are juggling multiple roles at the same time.
Here is a list of most sort-after actors who are making waves in two or more drama series at the same time. Is this really possible given the vast experience of actors Mzansi has?
Thutuka Mthembu
Topping the list is South African fast-rising star actress Thutuka Mthembu. The star actress plays the role of Nonka on Mzansi’s most-watched soapie; Uzalo. The vivacious actress is also playing the role of Sthandwa on eHostela which plays on Mzansi Magic. Both shows are produced by Stain Glass TV!
Mduduzi Mabaso
Celebrated star actor and Rhythm City’s most-followed actor Mduduzi Mabaso also stars on eHostela. Despite being the household name for Rhythm City for years Mduduzi Mabaso who plays Suffocate Ndlovu has switched allegiance to Stain Glass Media. Last year Mzansi was left in distress after etv announced the shocking cancellation of Rhythm City slated for earlier this year.
The Hard-hitting crime series “eHostela” returned for season 2 with renowned actors joining the show as new leaders of the Brotherhood when the secret society of hitmen finds itself under threat from a new sheriff in town.
Former “Isibaya” actor Dumisani Dlamini plays Celemba, while veteran actor Mduduzi Mabaso plays the thuggish AK.
Skhulu Skhenjana
It would be surprising if not see Skhulu on the list. Skhenjana is currently in three soapies; Scandal, Isono and Generations The Legacy. He plays the role of Ben who is Fikile’s ex-husband and a ruthless billionaire on Generations and a thug called Gazati on BET’s Isono and an assassin named Goba Chev on Etv’s Scandal. The seasoned actor is currently the most-sort after star actor. He has managed to wow Mzansi with his acting.
