MUZI MTHABELA: ‘I’M A VIDEO EDITOR BY PROFESSION’
The talented Generations: The Legacy actor Muzi Mthabela tells Drum he did not grow up wanting to be an actor.
“I am a video editor by profession, and I got my first acting gig while I was an editor on Zone 14. They needed someone to be Relebogile Mabotja’s boyfriend. All I had to do was walk down the street with her. And we had such great chemistry that they continued with that storyline even in the next season. That opportunity came at a time when I was looking for a change in my life. I then took the opportunity with both hands and ran with it.”
Mthabela, who always plays the strong, alpha male leading characters says he’d like to do something different in the future. He adds that a friend of his once said they would like to see him play a weak character and that is something he needs to challenge himself on, as an artist.
“My broad shoulders are not helping the situation in terms of the roles I get. I need to push myself to a play where even I didn’t think I could go.

ACTOR ROLE IN ‘GENERATIONS: THE LEGACY’
The actor debuted on Generations: The Legacy on 6 December 2021 as Siphesihle Cele’s uncle, Nkosiyabo Cele after exiting e.tv’s cancelled telenovela Imbewu.
He stated in an interview with Daily Sun that his new character’s storyline will be full of fireworks and a beautiful storyline.
Mthabela’s character is very protective of Sphe (Pearl Monama) and will fight her battles with the Morokas.
The star, who was 31 when he got his first acting gig encourages people, especially young people, to rely on God.
“I have always allowed God to lead me and direct me. It’s okay to plan and project what you would like to do when, but you must be willing to adapt and adjust to God’s plan for your life.
“You cannot always be the commander in chief. Yes, it’s important to take the bull by its horns and be the master of your destiny, but stop trying to be in control of everything, all the time.”
