Mohale Motaung lands acting role
Mohale Motaung has landed a role on the second season of MTV Shuga: Down.
He joins the cast to play the role of an openly gay man.
Mohale’s character is set to highlight critical social issues faced by Africa’s youth. Social issues such as will be guided and brought to attention by his role.
“As an openly-gay man, I’m fortunate to have the support of my family and my fiancé, Somizi. But not all South African youth, especially those growing up in conservative and traditional households, experience the same level of acceptance. That’s why programmes like MTV Shuga play such a crucial role in informing the youth and helping them realise they are not alone,” said Mohale in an official statement.
He is grateful and excited to be granted the opportunity to guide and be part of an important dialogue.
“MTV Shuga has proven to be a powerful catalyst for informing and positively affecting the lives of young people across the continent. I am thrilled by the opportunity for dialogue that this role presents. While same-sex marriage is legal in South Africa, so many people are still shunned by those closest to them for being open about their sexuality.”
