Actress Zoe Mthiyane seems to have taken her on-screen character off-screen. Zitha, as she is known to her fans for her role in the popular SABC 1 telenovela Generations: The legacy was arrested in Douglasdale, Joburg this past Saturday night.
The 39-year-old ex-wife to sports analyst Robert Marawa was released on bail and expected to appear in court soon. Zoe was also engaged to Lion King music composer Lebo M. She has children with both media personalities. Sistas has not been too lucky when it comes to love, after a highly-publicised break up from Robert Marawa and Lebo M, it was reported that she was dating Generations co-star Rapulana Seiphemo.
Just this past week, a popular local newspaper reported that she broke up with Rapulana Seiphemo - popular for his role on Generations as Tau Mogale. Since she began acting on Generations The Legacy, the actress and mother of two has been enjoying the less bumpy and dramatic road to success. The couple allegedly broke up after Zoe discovered that Rapulana was cheating on her with a colleague whose name has not been revealed.
Captain Mavela Masondo confirmed that a 39-year-old actress was among those bust for drunk driving over the weekend. With the festive season officially on, the Ministry of Transport has gone on a campaign to curb driving under the influence and enforcing safe speeds on the roads.
A source close to Zoe revealed to us that sistas has not been herself since the end of her relationship with Rapulana. Zoe's last weekend arrest led the bosses at Generations to boot her out of the show. The actress confirmed yesterday that she's no longer with the show. It is still uncertain what led her to make the regretful decision to drive under the influence.
