Coming up on
Generations: The Legacy on Wednesday 19 March 2025:
Sicelo Mabaso as Samkelo, whose unbuttoned shirt and paunchless tummy says it all.
He's a charmer who's literally undressing himself!
Samkelo's described as a hustler who oozes charisma. Street savvy and hustling to the top. He's easy to love apparently and can code-switch depending on who he's with.
This isn't Sicelo's first TV role but it is his most high profile by far. He's had a recurring role on the third season of 1Magic's drama series Unmarried and in the poorly publicised Magenta Coal on Netflix.
He's represented by Elysian Management.
This from Sicelo about his casting on Gen:
Sicelo: “I am extremely grateful to have gotten the role after such a gruelling and nail-biting audition process, a life-changing experience and to many, it will start making sense… A gifted kid compelled by a passion for the Arts.”
Sicelo plays one of three new characters who debut on Gen over the next two months. You'll find portraits on the others by tapping here:
Athie Cwele as Kamogelo Moroka
Vuyolwethu Matiwane as Lulama
As these newcomers arrive, two characters depart: Nicholas Nkuna and Mpho J Molepo make their final appearances as Anathi Mpofu and Kabisi Moroka in March.
