Popular South African soap opera Muvhango is on the lookout for a talented male actor to join its cast in a new role. The ideal candidate should be between the ages of 45 and 55 and must be fluent in Venda. Aspiring actors are invited to submit self-tapes for consideration, with the deadline set for 15 January 2025. The self-tape should include a one-minute monologue that highlights the actor’s best performance, along with a brief introduction to provide some background.
Those interested can send their submissions to the designated email address: [email protected]. To stay up-to-date with the latest casting news and additional details, applicants are encouraged to follow Muvhango’s official social media pages.
This casting call comes at a time when Muvhango is experiencing a period of rejuvenation. The long-running soapie faced a major challenge in 2024 when the SABC, its broadcast partner, almost canceled the show. The near-cancellation led to a temporary suspension of the series in July. However, the show made a strong return the following month with a refreshed brand identity, featuring a new logo, vibrant characters, and more engaging storylines.
A key part of the show’s revitalization is the introduction of Dr Nonhlanhla Ximba, a significant new character portrayed by South African film legend Leleti Khumalo. Khumalo, widely adored for her contributions to the South African entertainment industry, is expected to bring a new level of excitement to the soapie.
With these exciting changes, Muvhango is looking to continue its legacy of compelling storytelling and captivating performances. The casting call is a great opportunity for aspiring actors to be part of this iconic production and contribute to its future success.
