AFTER getting a big break and recognition, many actors move on to bigger and better jobs.
But this one says he will stay with his show until he stops acting.
Actor Tshepo Senatle has played the character Koloi Shivambu for years on the popular SABC1 show, Skeem Saam.
He used to do odd jobs before landing his dream job of acting.
Tshepo started by playing an extra on the award-winning Skeem Saam before landing one of the lead roles on the show.
The 26-year-old from Ottosdal, North West, said the show and his character are near and dear to his heart.
“I'm very much attached to it because it's one of those long-standing works I have done,” he said.

Tshepo said his acting is in sync and balance.
“I want to stick to doing this job until I retire. I'm that one employee who wants to stick to doing one job for life,” he said.
The actor said his upbringing infused loyalty to his job.
“I was only raised by working women who were always on my case about finding a job and keeping it until I retired. My father retired doing one job and one job only,” he said.
When Daily Sun asked him if they paid him enough, Tshepo said the money had never been enough.
“I don’t think there’s anyone who would say they are getting enough salary. I love the work more than anything.
“I'm an artist and once you are an artist, it's easy to offload everything that comes with life, and you can do it easier with your work,” he said.
