SABC2 will be holding auditions for Muvhango at Bassline, Newtown, Johannesburg on Saturday 12 January 2013 from 8am to 5pm. No previous acting experience is necessary, but great energy and personality is paramount.
Characters required
Mulondo (Male - Venda & English speaking) - 11/12 years: A quieter, more introspective child who seems not carry the world on his shoulders. As Susan's child, he will not be chief, so he has less expectation on his shoulders than his younger brother. He is not the favoured child of Masindi because he is not of royal stock. He is clever and thoughtful and adores his parents.
Muvhango (Male - Venda & English speaking) - 7/8 years: Cute, cheeky little kid. As Pfuluwani's child he is definitely in the running to be the next chief and he will grow up to know this. He gets away with being naughty. He is over-indulged by Pfuluwani and Vho-Masindi, who adore him beyond measure. You know that one day this kid is going to break hearts - precocious.
Busi Motsamai (Female - born free generation, Sotho, Zulu & English speaking) - 17-21 years. She has spent almost one year in an English school in Tokyo and when she returns to South Africa, would have to complete her matric year here.
Vusi Mukwevho (Male - Born Free Generation, Venda, Zulu & English speaking) - 17-21 years: He is the spoiled prodigal son that returns home to course havoc and throws Thandaza into the turmoil of mothering a growing young man. He is charming and uses his charm to get out of trouble. He knows that his mother has influence and can sometimes us it to get away with anything.
