Genesis new faces presser

Mzansi Magic’s hit telenovela Genesis is rolling out the red carpet with a line-up of exciting star appearances set to shake things up!

You have seen their talent on some of Mzansi’s biggest productions and now they are stepping into the Genesis spotlight.

Vuyo Biyela (Sibongile & The Dlaminis, The River, Shaka iLembe season 2) will join the cast 18 September as Lizwi Phakathi, a charming and devoted pastor’s son returning from missionary work abroad. With love on his mind and a ring in his pocket, Lizwi is ready to reclaim the heart he left behind, but the path to redemption is anything but holy.

Siyasanga Papu (Gomora) makes her appearance as Nokuthula Dlamini on 22 September, a woman whose past resurfaces in the most unexpected way. Years after making a life-altering decision, she is forced to confront the consequences when a long-lost chapter of her life comes knocking.

Mmatema Moremi (Idols SA contestant and gospel award winning artist) stepped into the role of Basetsana Serite on 12  September, an insecure songbird with a voice that could move mountains. When ambition clashes with self-doubt, Basetsana finds herself caught between loyalty and the lure of the spotlight.

But beyond the glitz and new additions, who will Mmarona choose to sign with? And what would it mean for her sister’s career that was about to take off? Catch Genesis Mon-Fri at 19:30 only on Mzansi Magic (DStv channel 161).
