PLAYING KWANDA BUTHELEZI IN UZALO' Mfusi also revealed that his character -Kwanda Buthelezi is very interesting as he's a charming individual who gets his way a lot.
The actor-musician was over the moon when he found out about the role because he has high respect for Uzalo.
I have been wanting to get on the set. I have done two episodes so far.
This is one of the biggest opportunities that I have had in my career to showcase my talent in acting.
I feel so blessed and honoured to be part of the cast, especially because they are the number one soapie in the country. I am really grateful.
Kwanda is an exciting character to watch because you do not know what he is about to do and there is a lot of anticipation.
I do not relate to the character at all, he is something I will never be and have never been.
His relationships with other characters are very strange because of the person he is and the life he lives.
I only hope that I make it interesting and worth watching.
