Renowned and award-winning thespian Siyabonga Thwala is scheduled to appear in season 6 of 1Magic’s The River, which will be another outstanding addition to his resume. The first time his character appears on screen will be on Friday, February 10, 2023.
Thwala will be playing Bangizwe Zwane, a street-smart, hypermasculine ‘alpha male’ from Lindiwe Dikana’s (played by Sindi Dlathu) past. Friends since childhood, he is as ruthless as she is but far more patient and calculated. The role reunites Thwala and Dlathu, who previously acted alongside each other on Muvhango as Busani Mojalefa and Thandaza Mokoena. It also marks his latest project with Tshedza Pictures.
About taking on the plum role and bringing it to life, Thwala says: “On set, you must always be prepared. You must always position yourself to do something great. There are no boring or unimportant characters. All characters have a place in the story, even if they are not the leads.”
An clever and successful businessman, Bangizwe is a man who always gets what he wants – and what he’s after is Lindiwe’s heart. How will that work out for him, and just how much is he willing to rock the boat to get it?
The River airs weeknights on 1 Magic DStv Channel 103 at 8 PM.
