“ALLOW ME TO BE ME”<br />
By: Athabile Mrasi<br />
South African actress<br />
Motsoaledi Setumo<br />
shares that most people<br />
find it hard to<br />
differentiate between<br />
her television character<br />
and her real-life<br />
character. Being onscreen<br />
every day may<br />
make people believe that<br />
the role you are playing<br />
is really who you are.<br />
She says that sometimes<br />
people prejudge based on<br />
your tv character. “I am<br />
the total opposite of<br />
Mmabatho. People never<br />
really understand that and<br />
the judge you based on<br />
her actions or personality<br />
and not give you space to<br />
be who you are. Can I be<br />
Motsoaledi? Allow me to<br />
be me,” says Motsoaledi.<br />
.<br />
Even though Mo more has<br />
been in the industry for<br />
three years fully, she<br />
admits that her life<br />
changed immensely when<br />
she joined ‘The Queen’,<br />
Msanzi’s most watch<br />
telenovela.<br />
“A huge change in my life<br />
came when I started acting<br />
on ‘The Queen’. Most<br />
people started noticing the<br />
role, and because The<br />
Queen is one of the mostwatched<br />
television shows.<br />
Fans of the show have<br />
fallen in love with<br />
Mmabatho and others,<br />
well…”, she says.
