James’ Dingaan Mokebe’ from Muvhango and Meme Tsholofelo Matshaba’ from Muvhango were married and had a daughter together. There was a show called Muvhango on the air at the time, and it wasn’t just any show; it was a look at a typical Mzansi lifestyle that was being broadcast on small screens.
James (Dingaan Mokebe) and Meme (Tsholofelo Matshaba), the onscreen power couple of the SABC 2 Venda drama series, have left a lasting impression on Mzansi. In the days when we had characters like the scheming Meme, who gave Thandaza a hard time, Muvhango was the best thing since sliced bread.
The two were known for having intriguing personalities, which made them stand out. We can all agree that Meme is one of the most memorable characters on the program, thanks to her shaved head and cornrows in other sequences, among other things. It may come as a surprise to some, but it’s difficult to believe that their on-screen romance extended beyond the confines of the television screen.
