Did you know Wavhudi Lidzhegu ‘Vhutshilo’ from Muvhango is an Engineer in real life?

Wavhudi Lidzhegu has been gracing our screens as part of the Muvhango cast for several years now. He has become a household name with his role as Vhutshilo, a spoiled young Prince.

His character on Television has been easy for him to play because sometimes he portrays things he has been through. His rebellious nature on Television is not all fictional, as he was defiant at a younger age in his real life. However, that is a story for another day.


 

 

 

After a phase in his life where he was problematic to his parents, they did not give up on him. The actor made amends and enrolled in college, where he graduated with a certificate in Mechanical Engineering. Even though he is an Engineer by profession, the young man pursued acting as a career. He has been employed at the Word of mouth pictures production for years now.

Word of Mouth is known for wanting their actors to be educated, and after a talk that Wavhudi would still go back to school, he was offered the role. His role is that of Azwindini and Susan’s son, who is spoilt and rebellious but had to do some growing up after his father snatched his girlfriend. Wavhudi got his big break in Muvhango when he was only 16 years old, and he came clean that he had no experience.

The actor has opened up about how hard it is playing his character. This is because people start confusing his onscreen character with his real-life one. The actor says he has found himself explaining to his family that he is not like that. A few weeks ago, he found himself having to tell his fans that he was not into an older woman like Vhutshilo but only played the character after being attacked online.
