THEMBSIE MATU: NEW ROLE Entertainment commentator, Jabu Mcdonald confirms that Matu will make her debut on Obstruction in March.
Thembsie Matu back on our screens on Mzansi Magic's new teen drama series #ObstructionMzansi which premieres 18 March at 8pm.
Matu who's hailed by viewers as Mzansi's Madea with her quirky comments told TshisaLIVE that her recipe to success is passion and imagination.
She added that she loves what she does and tries to educate and entertain fans with the characters she plays. The beloved actress also revealed that she and Petronella are similar in terms of confidence as they go after what they want.

We are both no-nonsense women. However, I am not a violent person I don't beat men. I hope Patronella teaches women to work on what they have: Be it a cleaner or cook or a nanny. And they mustn't put all their eggs in one basket.
