The actor joined the show five years after Dr. Dhlomo’s death, when the drama’s second season was extended by five episodes. The actor is a physician who joined the hospital four years ago, and Dr. Dhlamini is pushing for him to be promoted to the position of Head of Surgery. Dhlamini does not wish to establish his wife, Dr. Zondo, in order to prevent accusations of nepotism.

After conducting interviews, Khumalo was chosen Head of Surgery over Zondo, who reacted negatively to the news and expressed her disdain. However, Khumalo has also demonstrated that he is a diligent physician; when lightning hit Mbali’s ceremony, he acted immediately to assist the patients.

Due to his mature appearance, many fans presume that the actor portraying an experienced physician is in his forties. In reality, Tumelo was born on August 10, 1991, making him 31 years old as of the present. The actor is younger than many Durban Gen audiences may have imagined, and his appearance makes him ideal for portraying roles that are more mature than his age.

The actor has been in the public eye for quite some time, and Durban Gen is not his first job. Generations Fans of The Legacy may recognize the actor as Detective Robert, who had brief screen time in 2019. When he married his partner in a conventional ceremony in 2019, he made news.

The actor is particularly involved in the music sector, where he has published two albums as a gospel artist. The first one he released in 2017 is titled From a man’s heart to God, and the second is titled Blessed Generation.
