Muvhango actress Buhle Samuels, who considers herself to be a very sweet person in real life, says she actually loves playing an evil character every day on set.
In an interview with Metro FM’s Morning Fixx, Buhle had an interesting take on her character Matshidiso. The actress explained that she thoroughly enjoys playing the vindictive character, regardless of the fact that she’s actually the complete opposite of what Matshidiso is in real life.
“I’m so chilled. If I don’t like you, I just stay away from you, I don’t have time to be vindictive it just takes so much energy to be that way. But it’s fun playing Matshidiso because she’s completely the opposite of me. It’s fun to be evil for a day.
"I’m sweet, I don’t know how it is to be mean, so it kind of challenges me as an actress to emulate a character like that and make it believable. It really is cool."
