Meet ‘The River’ Tv Series Star, Larona Moagi.??

Beautiful Larona Moagi, 22, who Plays the role Itumeleng Mokoena, in the new Tv series, The River, is a fresh face to television screens across South Africa, but has been able to win the hearts of her viewers, not  because of her pretty face, but by her ability to deliver her roles convincingly.

Moagi says that she felt so excited as she started filming the first few scenes of The River, but that it took a while before she had settled with the news that she had earned a role on the new soap. 

Her character, Itumeleng Mokoena gets involved in an interesting conflict with mining boss and main antagonist, Lindiwe (played by Sindi Dlathu). “Viewers can expect to see Tumi grow out of the naive, young woman they saw in the first episodes”, Moagi explains.

Moagi could be the perfect example of the phrase, ‘dynamite comes in small packages’, which is probably why the role of Itumeleng Mokoena fits her so well.

Now to Larona Moagi:
