Playing the role as Itumeleng Mokoena, the new actress is a vivacious lady with a compelling personality and a fresh face to television screens across Mzansi, but she is not just a pretty face.
Moagi says that she felt exhilhiration and excitement as she started filming the first few scenes of The River, but that it took a while before she had settled with the news that she had earned a role on the new soap. Her character, Itumeleng Mokoena gets involved in an interesting conflict with mining boss and main antagonist, Lindiwe (played by Sindi Dlathu). “Viewers can expect to see Tumi grow out of the naive, young woman they saw in the first episodes”, Moagi explains.
