There's a new arrival on Muvhango on Tuesday night (28 July): Siya Sepotokele, who's back on SABC2 after starring as Lehasa on the channel's novela Keeping Score.
Siya, who is also known for his roles on The River, Impilo, The Republic and Single Galz, plays Sechaba, Imani's (Zonke Mchunu) new lurve interest.
Who might or might not break her heart for reasons that don't involve cheating.
Sechaba has a story that tackles one of the biggest challenges someone can go through in life... he's an oncologist who's suffered from cancer himself.
The Muvhango writers describe him as kind, caring and passionate about his job - the sort of doctor who gives 110% to everyone and who makes everyone feel special.
Four years ago Sechaba was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer and he went through intense treatment to beat it. He's been in remission for three years now, with a belief that life is too short for *bleep!*.
TRUE!!
He's direct, forthright and immediately smitten with Imani when they meet.
We're first introduced to him when Gugu (Bukamina Cebekhulu) and Imani find out that MaMbatha (Duduzile Ngcobo) has cancer. They take turns taking her for her check-ups and chemotherapy, which is when Imani meets him.
They click instantly but Imani can't understand why he's emotionally distant at first, until he reveals the truth about his condition.
Imani freaks obvs, worried about giving her heart to someone she might lose, but decides to go for it and pursue a relationship with him.
A whirlwind romance follows.
