Mzansi Magic’s multi-award-winning telenovela Inimba has just raised the stakes once again with the arrival of one of South Africa’s most compelling young talents, Buntu Petse.
On Monday, 13 April, viewers witnessed Petse step into the world of high-stakes ambition and corporate power plays as she joins the cast in a role set to disrupt the balance of power at Khusela Tech. Known for her standout performances in local productions such as Law, Love & Betrayal, Petse now takes on the character of Portia Khiswa, a sharp, fearless and forward-thinking Senior Engineer whose presence is impossible to ignore.
Portia is not here to blend in. She is a tech visionary with a clear sense of purpose: to move beyond the sidelines and claim her place at the decision-making table. Unapologetic in her ambition and precise in her execution, she represents a new wave of leadership within the tech space-one driven by innovation, authority and a refusal to be underestimated.
Her arrival at Khusela Tech does not come quietly. She steps into an already volatile environment where ambition and rivalry simmer beneath polished corporate façades. Existing tensions between Khusela and Zondo Tech have already set the tone for a season defined by power struggles, strategy and shifting alliances. Portia’s presence threatens to intensify these dynamics, challenging both established hierarchies and unspoken rules within the boardroom.
As Inimba continues its second season, it has firmly established itself as a gripping exploration of ambition, influence and the cost of power. The introduction of Portia Khiswa signals a turning point, one where control is no longer guaranteed, and every move could alter the game entirely.
