Unlike most actors who started showing promising signs in acting in high school, Phele was different.

He eventually realized that acting was his calling and that he was naturally blessed with the talent of entertaining people and making everyone laugh.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, he has never looked back. He has played different characters on TV, including Morena in Skwizas, Bra Seputla Rannko (a scheming taxi driver) in Samsokolo, Tsepo in Stokvel, Uncle Maswabi Kwena (the village joker who has more knowledge than most people) in The Throne, Ntate Bopape in The Estate, and many others.<\/p>\n<p>The actor may not have a long list of TV roles, but he is still active in the industry.
