Sicelo Mabaso discusses Ben 10 role on Generations: The Legacy
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that newcomer Sicelo Mabaso, who stars opposite Thuli Phongolo on Generations: The Legacy, opened up about his latest character. Mabaso portrays the character of Lucy Diale's (Manaka Ranaka) love interest, Samkelo, on the SABC1 soapie, Generations: The Legacy.
The rising star reveals in an interview with Drum magazine that playing the 'Ben 10' character has helped highlight society's double standards regarding age in romantic relationships.
"It goes back to the expectation that a male is bigger than a female in the relationship, that males are the head in relationships, instead of being equals," says the star.
