Mduduzi Mabaso plays the streetwise Suffocate



The tough and surly owner of Soweto's famous Kilowatt Club (a disused power station), he's an ex-con done good. He doesn't bear fools gladly and holds his own in the boxing ring or in a knife fight with Tsotsis (thugs). He hasn't had much luck with women though.
Suffocate hosts an annual Christmas party for orphans in his hood and has informally adopted a former street kid who now attends a plush private boarding school. He'll lend money to mates in dire straits. But above all, he's a businessman.
Big Tip: be nice to his unofficial bouncers, Toolkit and Speshil.
