MDUDUZI MABASO: NEW ROLE  

TVSA reveals that the talented actor Mduduzi Mabaso, who currently plays the character of Mgedeza in Mzansi Magic’s DiepCity plays Khulekani in The Estate.  

The publication adds that the DiepCity star isn’t leaving the Mzansi Magic telenovela for S3’s The Estate but rather pivoting to this new role.  

His character Khulekani is described as a dominant and fearless man., who’s passionate and assertive and cares about his family and sister.  

Viewers of The Estate met him when he broke into Castro’s (Aubrey Poo) office and his arrival in town made Melisizwe and Noxolo suspicious, but he plays his cards close to his chest so they don’t know what he’s up to.  

“He decides to move into the Nobengela home and it makes everyone tense and nervous. Melisizwe cautions GK that they have a spy in their midst,” add TVSA.
