She married Richard who has lost his wife Gladys and is using his connections to get ahead.

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.
