Wiseman Ncube's star keeps on rising.

The actor who recently starred as Mandoza in his biopic scored another gig in a soapie that's replacing award-winning Gomora, which comes to an end in its fourth season.

My Brother’s Keeper will premiere on DStv Channel 161 on October 23 at 7.30pm.

According to a statement, it's a tale of a family drawn into a deadly succession battle of its own making.

The multitalented and star-studded cast of My Brother’s Keeper includes Wiseman, Zola Nombona, S’dumo Mtshali, Lindani Nkosi, Nelisa Mchunu and Rosemary Zimu. 

“We have always offered our viewers the best in local entertainment in a variety of genres, and with the upcoming premiere of My Brother’s Keeper, we’re pleased to bring another well-written and expertly produced series to our DStv Compact viewers,” says Shirley Adonisi, director of local entertainment channels at M-Net. 

“Telenovelas are a much-loved genre, and we look forward to growing our impressive and versatile content slate with a show that is sure to keep us all intrigued and entertained,” she says.

The show tells the story of Nqubeko, played by Wiseman, the headstrong and overambitious son of a mistress who is tired of being sidelined by his father. Nqubeko decides to break the rules of ‘ukungena’ by going after his brother’s widow Fakazile (played by Zola Nombona).
