The Actress Began Her Career As An Actress in the Early 1990s

Moshidi Motshegwa began her career as an actress in the early 1990s. Her first known appearance was in 1993 in Generations. In 1997, she appeared in a TV film, Mandela and de Klerk. However, her career took its real start in the 2000s when she landed roles in productions such as Hijack Stories (2000), S.O.S (2001), Behind the Badge (2002), and ER (2003). 2004 was an important and busy year for her as she appeared in many more productions such as Zero Tolerance, Critical Assignment, and Drum.

Her status as the queen of TV was built following some important TV roles that she got in productions such as The Letter for the King, Black Sails, and Good Omens, among many others that have established her as one of the biggest actresses the country has to offer.

One of her most famous roles was in the TV show, The River. She was a part of the show from 2018 to 2020 when she was ousted. She described her ousting from the show as very insulting because it came 20 days after being offered a new contract for the show’s next season. The exit of Moshidi Motshegwa from The River was linked to an issue she had with a younger actress who dragged her to one of the show producers, claiming that the older actress was cruel to her.

Moshidi stated that she asked what cruelty she did against the actress, but she was never told, and so she left. After the episode, everything seemed to be going well until she was told the scriptwriters could not develop a story for her character. She revealed that she found it insulting that she was first allowed to sign a new contract before being shown the way out. In a career that has lasted close to three decades, the actress has appeared in more than 50 films and TV productions.

Over the course of her career, she has clinched some important awards, including the following:
