Former Muvhango actor Nat Ramabulana has secured the role of Tshivase on SABC1's award-winning soapie Skeem Saam.

Ramabulana is the latest star to join the show following The River actor Lunga Mofokeng, who plays an educator Mr Q.

The former Muvhango star will star opposite rising star Austin Mothapo, who reprised his role as Noah Matloga on the soapie.

The educational soapie confirmed Ramabulana's latest character on its X account on Monday, 2 March 2026.

"Meet Tshivhase. Portrayed by Nat Ramabulana, he enters the story as Buli’s husband, and from the moment he steps into the picture, you can feel the shift. Every marriage has a story…but this one? The real question is, what does he really want? Trust us, you’ll want a front row seat," writes the show.
