Mmabatho shares more about her role on Outlawz

Mogomotsi told Showmax that she has always wanted to play a bold role as this of Moretlo Ts'eole, the matriarch and Queenpin of the Basotho side of the modern-day Western series in Mzansi highlighting cattle theft on the KZN and Lesotho border:

"Moretlo is your ordinary woman in the village but she’s got a twist about her, she will fight for her family by all means necessary. She would just put up a different personality and do what she needs to do at the time to survive, she would use her gun without thinking twice."

She further explained how Mmabatho and Moretlo synchronise:

I’m not my children’s regular friend but they can come to me for anything, I am their mom first. That’s the kind of mom that Leruo has in the story. So that’s the similarity between me and Moretlo.
