Khathu Ramabulana (born September 10, 1993) is a 30 years old South African actor best known for starring in the Netflix superhero series Shadow<\/em>, where he played the role of Detective Max Makena.<\/strong><\/p>\n The young, handsome, and extremely talented Khathu Ramabulana made his television debut in the SABC1 soapie, Generations: The Legacy. His rise to fame has been meteoric and unconventionally short but seeing a relatively unknown actor sparkle so brilliantly onscreen has been a source of constant wonder and pleasure for lovers of local soap operas.<\/p>\n Khathu Ramabulana was born in South Africa on September 10, 1993. He spent his childhood and teenage years growing up in Soweto, a small town located in the suburbs of Johannesburg.<\/p>\n There isn’t much revealed about his family except that he has very supportive parents who made sure he was able to achieve his childhood ambition. He took on a lot of art classes when he was younger because he had always known that he wanted to be an actor – Khathu has always been a very meticulous person even as a child – and took his acting classes seriously.<\/p>\n When he got into high school, he teamed up with his friends and made comedy skits. He also did standup comedy for a short while.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n With a background like this, it isn’t surprising that this Soweto-born actor has enough confidence to take on the entire world. He was trained very hard for it. He had his primary and high school education in Soweto, but his degree was bagged from the University of Cape Town.<\/p>\n Khathu had always been a brilliant student, so it came as no surprise to his family when he gained admission into the prestigious university in 2013 to study Drama and Theatre Arts. He graduated in 2016 at the age of 23. This was his first major step towards a career in the South African movie industry.<\/p>\n Almost immediately after finishing school, Khathu Ramabulana landed his first TV role in the series Generations: The Legacy<\/em>. He first appeared on the show on September 23, 2016, as a character called Yonke in a guest-starring role. He went on a hiatus shortly after and returned with a bang in 2019. Khathu is notoriously known for playing mischievous and romantic roles; this was especially noticeable when he played Zweli in the popular South African soap, Scandal!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n His character is best remembered as a schemer and conman who seduced a woman and deflowered her while his wife recorded them. That same year, he played the role of Hulisani in SABC1 viewers’ favorite, Muvhango<\/em><\/a>. In Muvhango<\/em>, he charmed his way into Rendani’s bed and heart; he was so good that she dumped her boyfriend. His effortless suaveness made him a fan favorite instantly. He was so popular that his resignation from the series<\/a> early in 2020 led to call-outs and protests on social media, with viewers asking Muvhango<\/em> producers to either produce the old Hulisani or scrap the show entirely.<\/p>\n Speculations about why he left the show so abruptly abounded throughout social media, and it was said that there were accusations of alleged sexual harassment, delayed salaries, and overall toxicity on the set. We respect Khathu Ramabulana for putting his mental health above monetary gain.<\/p>\nBio and Profile Summary Of Khathu Ramabulana<\/strong><\/h3>\n
