Not all is as it seems when it comes to Hector. Behind his charm hides a wolf in sheep’s skin.

He is understanding and supportive as a high ranking police colonel in Tembisa, but has a penchant for the narcotics trade. Sebata’s presence will shake the Khoza family to the core.

Seiphemo is best known for his roles in Isidingo, Muvhango and Generations. The award-winner has featured in numerous stage productions, TV dramas and films. He is also a sought-after tutor, director and producer boasting over 30 years of experience.

“Hector Sebata is going to be the most exciting and challenging character I have had to create. I am looking forward to being on The Queen and working with the cast and crew. I also trust that the viewers will be entertained by what Hector gets up to,” said Seiphemo.

The Queen executive producers Connie and Shona Ferguson welcomed Seiphemo: “We are thrilled to have Rapulana on board. We have both worked with him as actors and have the highest level of respect for him as a performer and a professional.

“He is a world-class actor with an impressive portfolio and is loved by many. We can’t wait to see him in the role of Hector Sebata.

Season 5 of The Queen kicks off this July and will grace screens every weekday at 9pm on Mzansi Magic, DStv channel 161.
