Keabetswe "KB" Motsilanyane is back on e.tv, and she's bringing serious drama with her. Pop culture reporter Jabulani Macdonald confirmed on X that the acclaimed South African actress and singer has been cast in the telenovela Isitha: The Enemy, joining the show for what will be its final season.
Motsilanyane will portray Dineo Mtshali, a Soweto-born fashion designer who turns out to be OJ's mother and Mapholoba's former partner. The character is set to stir up considerable tension among the show's core cast, delivering the kind of high-stakes drama that viewers have come to expect from the telenovela.

The casting marks a significant homecoming for Motsilanyane. Many South African viewers will remember her best for her standout role as Lucilla Vilakazi on Rhythm City, the beloved e.tv soapie that earned her widespread acclaim. Stepping back onto the same channel in a fresh character signals a new chapter for the actress, who remains one of Mzansi's most recognisable faces both on screen and in the music industry.
