MOTLATSI Mafatshe has joined the award-winning cast of The River.

The actor made his debut playing Cobra’s cousin Fose on Monday night.

Motlatsi told Daily Sun he was invited to join the show by the writers.

“I got a call from the writers, and they asked me to come through,” he said.

“They said they didn’t know how I’d fit into the story, but that they’d find a way because they had always wanted to work with me.

“Now they’re trying to see if my character can gel in with the other characters. Maybe this will be a long-term thing if all goes well.”

He said Fose is like the rest of his family.

“They have zero emotional intelligence and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. He doesn’t care what he sees.

“I think he might be suffering and defended himself by being mean, but we’ll see as time goes by.”

The River was the best set he’d worked on, and he was honoured to work with the cast and crew.

“It’s an incredible production and the people are amazing,” he said.

“There’s freedom of expression and the quality of the work is exceptional.

“They’re a family. It’s been great so far. I’ve joined a winning team.”

Fans would have another opportunity to see him this week.

“I’m doing voiceovers for a new show,Celebrity Mystery Box, on Mzansi Magic.

“I’ll also star in a movie, Bo Papago, on the same channel at 8.30pm on Saturday.”
