Many know the actress for her role as the gold-digging Meme from Mukwevho Holdings in Muvhango. Her character on the soapie was a woman who would do anything to win. In the process, she made a lot of enemies as well. Tsholofelo made her exit from Muvhango years back and has been a busy woman. Her illustrious career shows her passion for the craft and talent.
After her exit from Muvhango, Tsholofelo worked on several Ferguson Films productions. Without a doubt, the actress effortlessly embodies villainous roles to the t and doesn’t miss a step. She may easily be termed a typecast actress, but that has earned her a name among the biggest names in the South African acting industry. Her attitude to her craft has spoken of how strong she is after she kept working, even after losing her husband.
Muvhango was the first most significant role of her career, but she was a swan in Theatre before that. Tsholofelo is trained in Musical Theatre at the Tshwane University of Technology, and she names Theatre her first love. She has been in productions like the Lion King before she branched out to Television on the small screen.
After her role as Meme, many doors opened for the actress in several productions. The most notable one is the one in The throne. Here she played the Queen’s sister, bending the rules and acing them. Netflix’s Kings of Joburg awarded her a role as a detective, but as usual, her role was villainous, and she is not always following the rules. Tsholofelo’s role in The River playing Rakgadi is what she holds at this moment. She works alongside Lindiwe, who played Thandaza when they were on Muvhango. Her roles are too many to mention on Television.
Despite being a famous actress, Tsholofelo has a good heart and gives back to society. Together with her late husband, Chris Matshaba, they founded the Chris and Tsholofelo Matshaba Foundation, which helps the less fortunate.
