As much as some of us dislike her role as Iris on Isibaya, we can’t deny that Mampho Brescia has been making great strides in her acting career.

Last year, she released her latest film, The Jakes Are Missing, which received rave reviews from local movie critics.

And now her team has informed us that Mampho Brescia has been selected for a lead role in the second season of SABC 1 drama, Mfolozi Street.

Mampho has expressed great excitement in being part of this new production.

"I am so excited to be part of this production, which has already proven itself to the audience due to it very impactful stories. The quality of writing is exceptional, and I am so thankful to be working with such a high calibre cast. There is nothing as thrilling for a professional actor than being part of a thrilling storyline and being able to reach for one’s best work through daily interaction with high calibre colleagues," said Mampho in a statement.
