SELLO MOTLOUNG: ‘I LIKED WHAT I SAW ON TELEVISION’  

The legendary thespian Sello Motloung is certainly one of 5 actors, who joined the Showmax telenovela The Wife this season as Kgosi, Naledi’s (Gaisang Noge) father.  

Motloung tells Sunday World that his love for the humanities started when he was in highschool.  

“A family friend identified some of the stuff I was doing, and he spotted my skill and told my mom about an art school across the Market Theatre. He took me there and I started part-time art lessons but because my family didn’t have money, after two years I had to drop out.”  

The thespian provides that his older brother used to purchase a well-liked newspaper that had an insert, which intrigued him as a result of it targeted on the humanities.  

“I used to read the insert and that’s where I came across the names of a lot of artists, and I started following dramatic arts. I also liked what I saw on television, even though then it was very limited because we only had a few channels.”  

Motloung, who’s now a part of Showmax’s telenovela will probably be playing the position of Naledi’s father, Kgosi, the chief of the Royal Thabeng.  

“Kgosi has a very unbalanced relationship between his two daughters, with Naledi being the favourite, and as a father, I want only the best for her. The relationship Naledi has with Qhawe Zulu does not sit well with Kgosi because of his agenda regarding the future of his family,” stated Motloung.
