It’s time to get back behind bars as season 4 of the hit drama series Lockdown returns to the small screen tonight.Veteran actress Nthati Moshesh joins the cast as Masabatha, the leader of a cult.“With the explosion of self-styled prophets such as Shepherd Bushiri making news headlines, the timing could not have been more perfect for me to play a spiritual leader today.
“My character is blind and that has made me value having my sight so much. I believe I have become even more empathetic to blind people and what their world must be like on a daily basis.” However, a cast full of strong female characters is not the norm here or anywhere else in the world.

Having got her start on the small screen in the soapie Egoli, working with Franz Marx, she is pleased to now be working with Mandla Ngcongwane, better known in the industry as Mandla N. “Egoli was South Africa’s first soapie, and quite a privilege to work on.
