Hey there, soapie lovers! The world of South African television just got a little more exciting. Thandi Matlaila, best known for her role in Lingashoni, is stepping into the shoes of a nurse in the iconic SABC2 Tshivenda soapie, Muvhango. Fans of the show are buzzing with excitement, and for good reason—Matlaila brings a wealth of experience to the screen. This is not just another casting decision; it’s a move that adds depth and intrigue to the already beloved show.
But wait, there’s more! Just before Matlaila’s announcement, the soapie welcomed Nicholas Nkuna, a familiar face from Generations: The Legacy, who plays Khalema. Nkuna took a break from his role as journalist Anthi Mpofu to dive into the rich storytelling of Muvhango. It’s like a whirlwind of talent hitting the screens, isn’t it? And if that wasn’t enough, Gabisile Tshabalala, a fan-favorite actress, joined the cast as Bubbles. Talk about a star-studded lineup!
Now, here’s the scoop: Entertainment commentator Phil Mphela spilled the beans on February 3, confirming that Matlaila will be playing the role of a nurse. If you’re wondering why this matters, well, Matlaila’s acting prowess has been on display since her days as Lindiwe in SABC’s youth drama, Tshisa. Her ability to bring characters to life is unmatched, and her addition to Muvhango is nothing short of a game-changer.

What the Fans Are Saying
Of course, any big casting announcement comes with its fair share of reactions. Let’s take a look at what some of the fans had to say:
@chestermayifo chimed in with:
“I miss the golden era of Muvhango, where you’d see characters like Vho Mushasha doing incredible things, like disappearing underwater and reappearing after a week. I hope this new chapter brings back that magic.”
IG@mpholaurenml added:
“Haibo, is Muvhango still a thing? I thought it was canceled ages ago!”
@TumeloTiger1 had some thoughts:
“I’m not sure if this is the right move. Her talent could be better utilized elsewhere. Soapies need to stop recycling actors. Just saying.”
@Msiyana_V replied:
“I don’t know if it’s just me, but the acting skills of some of the new additions don’t quite hit the mark. It feels like they’re being given roles that don’t suit them.”

@teffo_ME shared:
“I feel like he’s been around forever. They were really sleeping on him. Great casting decision!”
A Twist in the Muvhango Saga
When the Soapie Meets Real Life
In a twist that adds another layer to the Muvhango story, Briefly News reported in January that Nat Ramabulana, the beloved villain Tenda from the show, was arrested for speeding. Imagine that—Tenda, the character known for his scheming ways, getting caught for breaking the law in real life. The Safta-winning actor was reportedly clocked speeding on the N1 north highway by the JMP. It’s moments like these that blur the line between the soapie world and reality, making Muvhango even more captivating.
So, as the drama unfolds on and off-screen, one thing is for sure: Muvhango is here to stay, bringing its unique blend of storytelling and intrigue to viewers across South Africa. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a newcomer, there’s always something new to look forward to in the world of Muvhango. Stay tuned for more updates as the soapie continues to evolve and captivate audiences nationwide.
