ATLEGANG SONGO: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S HAPPENING' The TikTok sensation Atlegang Songo, who secured a role in The River reveals to Sowetan that he's dreamt about this moment for way too long.

I can't believe that this is finally coming true. I've dreamt about this for way too long. I must admit, this feeling is quite foreign to me so unreal the feeling of knowing that I will be on TV for the very first time.

The publication reveals that Songo will make his debut in The River later this month as Beauty's cousin.

The content creator also reveals that the casting director reached out to him and asked him to send a self-tape.

The casting director reached out to me and asked me to send through a self-tape with a synopsis of a character and plot, I then sent him back my audition tape days later I received a call from him saying I got the role.

THE RIVER' FANS REACT @Mbalieh_D: I love him. When is he starting so I can watch The River again?

@Zeenclaire14: I love him. I love this for him. I hope he shares a scene with his Sindowzaa .

@BoitumeloThom12: Ahh I'm so happy for him.. Love him.

@GaoNolwazi: This is what Ntate Jerry Mofokeng was talking about. Just because his TikTok is funny doesn't mean he can act.

@Brother_Drum: I feel for the struggling student, who through blood and sweat is perfecting his/her craft. Why do art schools exist when producers opt for talentless influencers time and time again? This is why SA's entertainment industry is mid. No one is looking for talent. Just numbers.
