Raphael Griffiths, who used to be in Muvhango, told Kiki in an interview that you can’t expect to live for 365 days if you only get paid 12 times. In other words, what he was trying to say was that people should work extra jobs when they can. In this article, we’ll talk about the Muvhango’s grannies, who have both been teaching and acting.
1. Murabeli Elsie Rasalanavho
One of the few actresses who have been on Muvhango since 1997 is Murabeli Elsie Rasalanavho. She plays Vho Mukondeleli, an old woman who loves to talk trash about other people. She is Mulalo’s aunt, and she lives with him, his wife, and his son.
She was a teacher, and at one point she did both. She said that acting and teaching were hard to do at the same time. She would sometimes ask another teacher to cover for her at school, and she would sometimes let the Muvhango people down by telling them she would not be able to make it to Joburg for shootings.
She did that because she loved both of her jobs and didn’t want to lose either of them. But she later quit teaching, and now she works full-time as an actress. In 2023, she will be 73 years old.
2. Regina Nesengani
Regina Nesengani, who is 69 years old, plays Azwinndini’s mother, Vho Masindi Mukwevho. In 1974, she found that she loved being on stage. She began teaching in 1975. When she first began acting, she did both that and taught at the same time.
She started working at Muvhango in 2008, and she will always be grateful for the job she has. She stopped being a teacher in 2014 and now does acting full-time. When asked if she had other plans besides Muvhango, she said she would die acting there.
