According to iHarare Kay Sibiya will be joining the cast however it is unclear for how long he will be playing his role, as he will only be joining on the festive season.
Jack Mabaso, played by Vusi Kunene is one of television’s top villains. Those villains who refuse to die or get defeated. Jack always comes out on top, giving him more power after every single victory.
With Kay Sibiya as his younger brother, we hopeful that the role will allow him to flex is talent and take on different character, different to the one he was or still is well-known for on Uzalo as Ayanda Mdletshe.
He was the main character on Uzalo along with Nay Maps who played Mxolisi Xulu, because the whole storyline centred around the both of them. They were switched at birth and it was only found out years later that they were actually raised by the wrong family.
He went on to pursue other roles after leaving the telenovela and appeared on Mzansi Magic’s The Queen, before landing a gig with American streaming platform Netflix, playing on the football series Agent.
The 13-part series, Agent tells the story of Blaze, a former professional football player whose career ended prematurely after an injury. Blaze turns into a football agent who is passionate about his client.
It was then picked up by SABC 1 and in a statement, the SABC said: ” Agent explores the kind of wheeling and dealing that goes on in the modern game, how sociopathic rival agents, megalomaniac club owners, scheming professional football players and their gold-digging football wags, compromised club managers, and duplicitous witch-doctors, shamelessly hustle and negotiate inside the corridors of world football power”.
