Mzansi has lost one of its greatest talents, Seputla Sebogodi. A statement shared by his family through his agency, Artist Connection, revealed he succumbed to diabetes at age 63 on July 15.
Described as a legend in his time who was dedicated to his craft, Sebogodi starred in hit local productions including Generations, The Rivonia Trial, Surburban Bliss, Bophelo Ke Semphego and Redemption, among many others.
Here are some memorable film and TV roles he played that we’ll never forget:
Rest in peace, Kenneth Mashaba. 🕊️

So Lindiwe threw Tumi away because she hated Kenneth Mashaba? It’s plausible but I don’t trust her still #TheRiver1Magic pic.twitter.com/C08MPLO9ZC
