You might have known him as just Somizi Mhlongo's now ex-husband, but Mohale Motaung is proving that he has more to offer the industry. The entrepreneur will spread his wings by trying out acting and he will feature on e.tv's raunchy series, Black Door.
Mohale will play the character Mo Jack and his character will debut on Friday on June 3 at 9:30 PM.
Previous celebrity guest appearances included Zodwa WaBantu and she nailed her role.
In Mohale's role, he will be a patron at the club but people cannot decide what he is trying to do there.
Back at the ranch, all this is happening as Nomsa, the second matriarch of the series, has a chronic illness and is scheduled for surgery. However, her son Khaya isn’t there to see her off.
Meanwhile, Khaya, played by Zamani Mbatha, is at The Black Door {the club}, mingling with the one and only Mo Jack. Will Khaya and the relationship with his mother survive this episode? The Black Door viewers will know that Khaya is employed as a sex worker and provides for his family with the money he makes from his profession.
Is Mo Jack there for trouble or just a friendly visit? This Friday, 9.30PM on e.tv #TheBlackDoor.
Black Door is Executive produced by Black Brain headed by Mandla N. During the launch of the series he took guests throughout the entire experience and explained what birthed this idea of such a raunchy series.
“Growing up I’ve always been a fan of the Warner Brothers Studios and when I went to America, I also saw Tyler Perry Studios and I saw the magnitude of… you know… how much they go in.”
“I also thought, with enough land back at home, let me try something new instead of just building something in the studio. Also, I’ve been in the industry for over 21 years, and I’ve built interior studios in the past but this for me is very special cause only now I’m embarking on building exterior worlds.”
With this show, Mandla admits that it is a bit different from the other stories that he does, however, he still believes that they tell unique South African stories and that he is trying to break the stereotypes and stigmas against sex workers.
“I know a lot of people like to degrade prostitutes but they are part of our lives, those are individuals in our families, people that sit next to you at church on Sundays,” he said in closing.
The series features Linda Sebezo as Mam Rebs (Rebecca), Mzamo Gcabashe as Romeo, Sandile Mfusi as Junior, Sibongile Tenza as Nandi, Bhekimuzi Mkhwanazi as Bra Kenny, Gabisile Tshabalala as Boniswa, Velaphi Mnisi as Nomsa and Sello Ramalahloane as Bra Gibbs.
On the other hand, Mohale Motaung is working hard at securing any bag that comes to him. The influencer recently signed a deal with a tea company. “Time for me to spill the tea! It should come as no surprise that I’m an avid lover of tea. Many people have been fascinated with my weird obsession with Rooibos tea specifically.”
“It gives me great pleasure to announce that I am the official brand ambassador for Laager Rooibos Tea. A position I do not take lightly. In a world where Health is Wealth, it is heartwarming for me to partner with a brand that makes sure we all achieve this kind of wealth, meanwhile enjoying a quality cup of rooibos.”
