In The Queen, he takes on the role of Senior Police Officer Hector Sebata, entangled in a relationship with Harriet.

 

Rapulana Seiphemo’s departure from Generations The Legacy was prompted by allegations of gross misconduct. A significant fallout with his ex-wife and fellow colleague, Zoe Mthiyane, who portrayed Zitha Langa on Generations, led to the soapie’s cancellation.

Zoe, discovering her husband’s affair with the soap’s administrator Zandile Tshukulu, faced personal struggles, including depression and alcohol abuse, resulting in her dismissal from the show. Seiphemo accepted responsibility for his actions and moved forward with his new partner, Zandile Tshukulu.After the conclusion of Generations The Legacy, Rapulana sought a role on The Queen, turning to his former Generations girlfriend Connie Ferguson, the owner of Ferguson Films. The relationship between Seiphemo and Tshukulu, Mfundi Vundla’s granddaughter and his former employer, has flourished despite the initial controversy.

The couple has enjoyed luxurious vacations, shopping sprees, and romantic dinners, maintaining a low profile as single parents. Rumors of a formal wedding circulate, with speculation pointing to a possible mid-year 2024 celebration.

However, comparisons between Zandile and Zoe persist, and some have labeled Tau a gold-digger due to Mfundi Vundla’s considerable wealth.
