-Meet Mahase Doctor Sibane, also known as Msoko Lara from Leribe, Maputsoe. His music has been taking the country, and even the world, by storm with its unique blend of traditional and modern sounds. But that’s not all that Msoko has to offer. Recently, he has taken on a new role as a traditional healer, solidifying his place as a multi-talented individual.

And with his talent and dedication, we have no doubt that he will bring authenticity and depth to the character.
Msoko’s journey as an artist began at a young age and has been fueled by his passion for storytelling. He uses his music as a medium to not only entertain but also to educate and preserve Basotho culture. And now, with his acting debut, he is taking that passion to a whole new level.
