Comin' up on
Homecoming... these three new characters:
Msizi Dlamini
Played by Mavuso Simelane
Msizi is Constable Dlamini's brother and the prodigal son of Okhambeni.
He escaped the village to build a successful career as a geologist, only to return in disgrace after his corrupt business dealings caught up with him.
According to Mavuso, Msizi's story is about redemption through sacrifice.
A quote:
Mavuso: “Msizi spends the entire season trying to outrun his past, he sacrifices his pride, his reputation, and even his relationship."

Mavuso made his TV acting debut in the season finale of SABC1's docu-drama Ngempela where he played Sbu.
His first starring role was in the M-Net drama series Reyka. He played SAPS junior detective Samuel Zwane.
He most recently appeared in both seasons of the Nomax (formerly Showmax) legal drama series Law, Love & Betrayal which aired on Mzansi Magic this year.
