WAVHUDI LIDZHEGU: I AM NOTHING LIKE MY CHARACTER' Rising star Wavhudi Lidzhegu - who plays the character of Vutshilo in SABC 2's Tshivenda soapie - Muvhango has opened up about his character.
--
The actor recently revealed in an interview with Sun Buzz that playing Vutshilo has been difficult.
His character is a spoilt young man with no morals, respect, or boundaries.
Me, on the other side, I'm humble, respectful and I come from a Christian background.
I'd never talk back to my elders like he does and I don't date older women.
Lidzhegu says he's had to defend himself to a lot of people because they think that's the real him.
--
I had to defend myself to my family.

-- JOINING MUVHANGO' The young star adds that he got his big break on the popular soapie when he was just 16-years-old.
I auditioned for the show when I was in grade 12 and they loved my audition.
Before then, I had never done any acting.
I fell in love with acting after I read John Kani's books.
He adds that he was very excited when they told him he got the call for a second audition.
I started to attend some workshops and got some knowledge and got equipped.
