Actor reflects on fatherhood and ambition in 'Black Gold'

The series promises a gripping tale of betrayal, legacy, and the fight for power in the heart of KwaZulu-Natal.

At the centre of Black Gold is Nomalanga Shozi, who plays the role of Amandla Zungu, a principled daughter of the soil whose life is shattered by betrayal.

She is joined by two of South Africa's most revered performers: Safta-winning actress Dawn Thandeka King as the calculating Florence Zungu, and the legendary Sello Maake kaNcube as Tom Motsepe, a mining magnate with a dangerous past.

In an interview with IOL, KaNcube broke down his newest character, Tom Motsepe, who is a mine CEO, married and a father to three children - Zakhele, Andile and (unknowingly) the late Siyabonga.
