Lebohang Msiza has carved a niche for himself as one of South Africa’s most compelling actors, especially known for his captivating villainous roles. This year, Msiza has once again captivated audiences with his portrayal of Tiro More on the hit soap opera Scandal!, a character who exists to provoke and incite, proving that Msiza has a flair for making audiences love to hate him.
But that’s not all for the talented actor. In 2024, Msiza is set to broaden his horizons with a new and exciting role in the anticipated legal drama, Law, Love & Betrayal. In this series, he takes on the character of Musa, a no-nonsense prosecutor navigating the intricate webs of justice and morality. Musa’s character promises to be as complex as they come, reflecting the ethical dilemmas and personal challenges faced in the legal world.
Law, Love & Betrayal centers around Gugu Mabaso, played by the remarkable Dineo Rasedile in her first lead role. Gugu is a fierce and ambitious township lawyer determined to rise to the top and willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. Her journey takes her to a posh family-owned firm in Sandton, where she discovers that the pursuit of success comes with its own set of secrets and betrayals—many of which mirror her own life’s complexities.
Lebohang Msiza first burst onto the scene in 2017 as a finalist on the SABC3 talent search competition series, The Final Cut. Since then, he has made his mark on several popular television shows, including Generations, where he played a journalist, Rhythm City, Maseko Ties, Ring of Lies, and Now or Never. His versatility as an actor has allowed him to transition effortlessly between various roles, but it was his portrayal of Nkosana in Lithapo that truly put him on the map. Nkosana was a character defined by his remarkable sense of entitlement and narcissism, making him both infuriating and memorable for viewers.
In 2021, Msiza expanded his portfolio further with a significant role in the Mzansi Magic telenovela, The Queen, where he portrayed Clive. This character, at first charming and generous, turned abusive, leading to a dramatic turnaround that captured the attention of the audience and generated conversations about domestic violence and community intervention.
Lebohang Msiza is indeed a multifaceted actor, captivating audiences with every character he embodies. Whether he’s playing an entitled narcissist or a ruthless prosecutor, he brings depth and complexity to his roles, making him a standout figure in the South African entertainment scene. As he steps into the spotlight in Law, Love & Betrayal, fans and newcomers alike can expect an engaging performance that further showcases his remarkable talent. With Msiza’s skills, this year is undoubtedly his for the taking!
