Kwanele Mthethwa is stepping into the spotlight in a brand-new drama series, Pound 4 Pound, set to premiere on September 29th, 2024, on BET. This highly anticipated 13-part series promises to delve into the intense and exhilarating world of women’s boxing in Africa, capturing the physical and emotional battles that come with fighting for success.
Mthethwa is joined by a stellar cast of powerhouse performers, including Kealeboga Masango, Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa, Nicole Bessick, and Sne Mbatha. Together, these talented women will portray characters who are not just fighting in the ring, but also battling against societal expectations, personal demons, and the relentless pursuit of greatness. The series offers a gripping narrative of resilience and empowerment, making it a must-watch for fans of both sports dramas and character-driven stories.
Veteran actor Mduduzi Mabaso will portray Dingaan “Tiger” Nkosi, a washed-up former boxing champion, whose career has seen better days. He takes on the role of coach to this group of amateur women boxers, preparing them for a high-stakes tournament in Nigeria. His journey from reluctant mentor to fiercely invested trainer is sure to add an emotional depth to the series.
Gabisile Tshabalala and Zolisa Xaluva will also star in the series, further enriching the narrative with their dynamic performances. The show promises to explore not just the physicality of boxing but also the emotional and mental struggles that come with pushing one’s limits.
