The Legendary Godfather Of Tv And Theatre

Passionate Patrick Ndlovu doesn’t act but he becomes the character.

- Bongani Mdakane

HE WAS known as the no-nonsense principal on the drama series Yizo Yizo, and then he instilled fear as the manipulative funeral undertaker boss, Ntate Moloi, on Zone 14. Patrick Ndlovu, who is in his 70s, can make youngsters think twice about messing around with the elders once he gets into character. The veteran stage, TV and film actor, who grew up in Mohlakeng township on the West Rand, is a force to be reckoned with. He believes that God has given him talent to entertain people and he is still going strong despite his age.

RUTHLESS CHARACTERS LOVE HIM

Patrick is one person whom TV viewers love to hate due to the characters he plays. He started his acting career at a young age after trying his hand in music.

He says that he used to be an opening act for singers, The Manhattan Brothers, while he was a teenager but he later turned his focus to acting.
