2. **Paul and Arthur Molepo**
If you’re a fan of Rhythm City, there’s absolutely no way you can not know Fats, the character played by Paul Molepo. What many of his fans may not know is that acting is actually a talent that runs in this family.

He has emphasized that he did not get the role because his sister pulled some strings. He has insisted that his success is a result of his talent, although Nomzamo is his inspiration.
The actor, who currently stars on Rhythm City, explained that because he’s too young, he feels the pressure to mold into the artist he wants to be. The siblings are very fond of each other, and Nomzamo has acknowledged that Zamani reminds her of their father.
