Generations The Legacy actor Karabo Maseko aka Luyolo Promoted

They say that when it rains it pours and it is currently pouring for television heartthrob Karabo Maseko, who will now become a permanent feature on SABC 1’s hit prime-time soapie Generations The Legacy.

Speaking to Daily Sun, the actor who plays the character of Luyolo on the show said, producers of the show were left in awe of his enthralling performances and awarded him with a permanent role, which will see him now joining the principal cast of the award-winning show.

“I was called to audition in April. I went and the role was initially meant to be small, but the producers loved my performances and now, I’m part of the principal cast,” said Karabo.

The actor told the paper that his permanent role will kick off in the upcoming season which will premiere on Monday, 23 November 2020. Karabo is promoted alongside actress Zizipho Buti, who portrays the character of Tracy.

The Mpumalanga born and bred multitalented television actor has always been Mzansi’s fan-favourite. Karabo Maseko landed his big break in the cut-throat entertainment industry when he bagged a presenting gig on former eTV’s youth show, Craz-E. The show turned him into a household name with a legion of fans.

The actor and presenter hails from the dusty streets of an industrial-dominated and developing town Middleburg, and he is definitely putting the town on the map. Karabo studied Business Management at the University of Johannesburg.

The actor previously starred on Isipho as Neo, until the show was canned. The show faced the chopping board after it failed to attract viewership.

Isipho had a star-studded cast which included Nimrod Nkosi, Saint Seseli, and Thobani Nzuza and it aired its last episode on December 19, leaving fans shooketh to the core!

This follows after some viewers were not aware that it was coming to an end. In a press release by the channel, they said a mutual decision to conclude the production of the drama series was a strategic business one, and it was reached amicably by all parties involved, following a dip in ratings.

“It is with sincere regret that we end a locally produced drama series; however, following lengthy discussions with our partners, the decision was made to end the series. e.tv continues to look forward to fulfilling its mandate of producing exceptional and relevant local content,” said Marlon Davids, managing director at e.tv.
