Former “Skeem Saam” actress Shoki Mmola ’s daughter, Oratile Mmola, is making her acting debut after landing a role on eVod’s new Sepedi drama series “Bogaditšong: Sister Wives.”
Oratile will play Puseletso, the younger version of her mother’s character. Shoki, in the show, is one of the founding members of The Bright Sisters group, who were betrayed and dumped at a mental facility.
In the trailer that was recently released, Puseletso can be seen making an unexpected comeback during her husband’s funeral.
Set in the ruthless world of the South African music industry, “Bogaditšong: Sister Wives” follows the story of The Bright Sisters, a once-iconic female music trio whose legacy is haunted by the betrayal of their husband and group founder, Titus Matlou.
The trailer also offers viewers a sneak peek into a complex story about polygamy, with the drama between the "sister wives" front and centre.
The series features a star-studded cast, including Saint Seseli, who is cast as Titus Matlou, a music mogul and a polygamist.
Matlou has his grip firmly on the members of The Bright Sisters trio, who also serve as his wives.
“House of Zwide” star Tsholofelo Matshaba plays the first wife, Manto Matlou, who betrayed Puseletso and is also the one calling the shots in their family.
Popular actress Motsoaledi Setumo stars as Tshepang Matlou, who is the second wife with plenty of skeletons in the closet. Tshepang gets caught in a love affair within her marital home.
Rorisang Mohapi takes on the role of the third wife, Precious Matlou. Described as a youthful gold-digger, she is willing to go to any lengths to ensure she remains in the spotlight.
Wiseman Zitha plays King Matlou, Puseletso’s son.
According to Helga Palmer, the group head of content development and strategy at eMedia, the series offers a bold and emotional look into the messy realities of family, legacy and identity.
“Bogaditšong' is a bold and emotionally rich story that speaks to the complexities of family, identity, and legacy within a uniquely South African context,” Palmer said.
♦ "Bogaditšong: Sister Wives" is available to stream on eVod, Friday, June 12.
