Fresh from starring in various award-winning local productions, Siyabonga Twala has been bitten by the Rhythm City bug.
On Tuesday, 10 December, Siyabonga will make his debut as DH Radebe – David Genaro’s nemesis.
About the character:
DH is a rich, powerful, charming and confident mogul who tramples all over Genaro’s territory, much to David's annoyance. He was raised outside of South Africa and has always hero-worshipped his father, who was only sporadically present in his life. He's been with many women, but has never fallen in love. He arrives as a man of mystery who's in Joburg because he has an obsessive quest for revenge.
