Soap star Shaleen Surtie-Richards returns to television to tackle her 4th soap role in kykNET's Villa Rosa.


Turns out there is life after Egoli. Shaleen Surtie-Richards will tackle her 4th soap star role when the actress - most famous for her Nenna Willemse character on M-Net's canceled Egoli and who was seen as Mattie in SABC1's Generations and played Dorothy Daniels in SABC2's 7de Laan - returns to television playing Francene Jacobs in Villa Rosa on kykNET (DStv 111).

Her new soap role as a temperamental writer will mark Shaleen Surtie-Richards' first return to television (besides those DStv HD PVR ads) since last year when Egoli left the M-Net schedule at the end of March. Shaleen Surtie-Richards' appearance on the kykNET soap will be a recurring role.

Shaleen Surtie-Richards will join the Villa Rosa cast when she goes on set for the first time in February. Neither kykNET, nor Villa Rosa has made any announcement yet.
