#TheRiver: Malefu's Storyline Cancelled

Creative differences is a regular sport within the Arts. Almost every artist clings on to their version of creative execution regarding a particular project.

One slight criticism of one’s artistic presentation, and it will most likely drive a creative to extreme insanity or anxiety, given the sensitivity that comes with being an artist.

Such is the case with legendary actress, Moshidi Motshegwa. It was recently reported that the powers that be have decided to discontinue Malefu’s storyline, portrayed by Motshegwa.

Creative differences at the Tshedza Pictures Headquarters must have been on intense mode because one could imagine, it probably was not easy to conclude that Malefu should be written off the script as Moshidi’s character on 1Magic’s sizzling telenovela, The River, was loved dearly by the audience.

Speaking to Azania Mosaka on 702, Moshidi shared that, indeed, she will not be gracing our screens in the upcoming season of The River. When quizzed further, she said:

“They (Directors and Producers) said they don’t have a story for Malefu. It’s as simple as that, that is what the producers have said. I am repeating what the producers said.”

She continued to add: “For me, the most important thing is that I came back, I did the work and I did it at the level I wanted. I have no regrets about the work I have done.”

Moshidi expressed gratitude about her experience on The River, and she will forever remain grateful for the “come back” opportunity that was granted by the production house, Tshedza Pictures. She said the following:

“For me, the most important thing is that I came back, I did the work and I did it at the level I wanted. I have no regrets about the work I have done.”
