Former Skeem Saam actor and Top Actor finalist Nicholas Nkuna kicks off August as a new character on 7de Laan.
Nicholas makes his debut on Tuesday the 1st as Fikani Chauke, the new owner of Die Laan's long-time establishment T&T.
He's described by the soapie as a "strong, principled man with a no nensense approach," - which he clearly extends to his time in the gym.
Nicholas has been signed to the show on a full time contract, which makes this role his most notable on TV to date.
He played the recurring role of Sakhile on Skeem Saam from 2015 to 2016 and was one of the three finalists on BET's first season of Top Actor. He also played Isaac on SABC2's 'novela Keeping Score and plays Jamai on Mzansi Magic's new series iNumber Number.
He's also a singer and dancer who played Simba in a tour of The Lion King, joining a gazillion other TV actors who've been on Lion King too.
He performs his own music under the stage name Nick Soul
and he's super hot eye candy.
We have no doubt that tongues will wag happily when he arrives in Hillside.
