Manoko is a mother and a new villain who's replaced singer-actress Yvonne Chaka Chaka's character Gladys.
The creative director for the show, Nthabi Tau told TVSA that Manoko is diabolical.
She married Richard who has lost his wife Gladys and is using his connections to get ahead.
Tau also stated that Manoko masquerades as a loving wife and dabbles in rhino poaching dealing with shady characters.
She is greedy and often gets involved in illegal dealings that lead her to destroy the very community she loves.

One thing I admire about acting is that, if you're good you'll still get roles that fit you even in your 70's, 80's of your life

GIYANI: LAND OF BLOOD' FANS REACT Viewers of the SABC2 Xitsonga telenovela took to Twitter to congratulate Mokgoloshi for bagging the role.
@Zulukazi_RSA:
Betty White worked well into her 90s.
I think sitting at home is just too boring for her hence accepting this gig.
@RMashes50448483:
A good dancer knows when to leave the stage. Clearly she's not the one.
@BkayPerfect:
So Giyani is no more Tsonga drama becoming Sepedi drama.
@thapelomorongoa:
Looking forward to this, Sepedi setlo bolediwa strong.
@eMKayyy5:
The respect you put when mentioning her name is appreciated.
@emily_teffo:
She is perfect for that role hey, she and Sesi Rami are a perfect match.
