If featuring on four top-rated tv telenovela’s and dramas at the same time was anything to go by, then Siya Raymond Sepotokele is way ahead of the pack of young, hungry and talented actors. This brilliant talent finds himself at the centre of an industry that rarely incubates a rare talent of his calibre in a manner that is so well-timed. From playing Njabulo, the boyfriend to the police commissioner’s son in The River to a bone fide street gangster as Mac’able in Impilo: The Scam, an understanding of those two characters alone showcases the vast range of Sepotokele’s skill. Sepotokele’s days include him navigating between those two roles and those of characters on The Republic and Grassroots. Having previously featured on Keeping Score and Broken Vows, Sepotokele’s talents extend beyond tv to theatre where he has just completed a run of The Joburg Theatre’s Gomeri. This month, we celebrate this young man’s unique positioning in the industry that undoubtedly will see him achieve strides far greater in his promising future
