Thabo Rametsi is a South African actor best known for playing the lead role of Solomon Mahlangu in the 2016 feature film Kalushi, based on the life of Solomon "Kalushi" Mahlangu, who was executed by the apartheid government at the age of 23.

He won the Best Actor award for this role at the inaugural BRICS Film Festival in India in September, 2016.

Thabo is also known for his recurring role on the second season of the SABC3 soapie High Rollers as orphan Muzi Khuzwayo, who had a score to settle with TT.

Born in Umlazi, KwaZulu-Natal, he later moved to Kempton Park. At school he acted in several television commercials and plays and had drama coaching from Bonnie Lee Bouman and Dorothy Ann Gould.
