Rami Chuenes latest TV role is far away from the villainous and anti-hero characters that have made her one of Mzansis most celebrated actors.
In the new e.tv daily drama, The Four of Us, she plays Vera, a fiercely independent entrepreneur whose greatest strength isnt manipulation or revenge but compassion. Chuene speaks to Sowetan about her TV turn.
Vera is a businesswoman. She lives in Diepsloot with her husband, Papi Khomo Dumisani Dlamini, who is the uncle of the four siblings at the centre of the story. Shes built a life for herself through hard work. She owns a butchery, a nail bar, a hair salon, and even a busy tavern-style business. Shes always thinking about the next business opportunity, and shes always finding legitimate ways to make money, unlike her husband sometimes. Shes confident, stylish, and takes herself seriously.
