New cop on the block

Sergeant Rathebe's first Scooby Doo Mystery: Why is Babeile being a big baby about her joining the station?

- SANUSHA SHAMDUTT

Sergeant Rathebe (Gontse Ntshegang) is the shiny new badge in Turfloop this fortnight. She's smart and she's willing to go to any length to do her job. But being the new kid on the block brings enemies out of the woodwork. And for Rathebe that enemy is none other than her former police academy peer, Sergeant Babeile (Mathews Manamela), who also works at the police station.

"We first meet Rathebe when she's introduced as the new sergeant of Turfloop and while we don't know much about her, we do come to the realisation that she and Sergeant Babeile attended the same training college and are familiar with each other," says Gontse. "There's undeniable tension between the two of them; however, neither of them spills the beans about their resentment towards each other, and it leaves everyone wondering what history the two of them have," adds the actress.

LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED

As much as Rathebe would love nothing more than to solve real crimes and not waste time on petty police matters, she can't turn off her curiosity, especially after an unsolved crime leads her straight to Babeile's house on Valentine's Day.
