Huge Blow to Uzalo Fans: Two More Actors Leave the Popular Telenovela

In a bittersweet announcement that has left Uzalo fans with heavy hearts, two familiar faces are preparing to take their final bow on the popular SABC1 telenovela.

Wiseman Mncube, renowned for his portrayal of the character Sibonelo, and Nkanyiso Mchunu, who joined the Uzalo family in 2022 as Siphamandla “Wizard” Nkosi, are soon to bid their farewells.

King David Mukwevho, the series producer of Uzalo, reflected on this departure, emphasizing that it marks the end of an era. He extended heartfelt gratitude to both actors for the indelible mark they’ve left on the show.

“We’ve had the privilege of witnessing Wiseman Mncube and Nkanyiso Mchunu’s incredible journey on Uzalo. Their commitment to their craft, their ability to breathe life into their characters, and the chemistry they brought to the screen have enriched our show in ways words can’t express,” Mukwevho stated.

Saying goodbye is never an easy task, but it is inevitable in the world of television. Mukwevho expressed deep appreciation for the invaluable contributions made by Wiseman and Nkanyiso to the success of Uzalo. He also hinted at an epic exit for these departing actors, urging viewers to stay tuned for a storyline that promises to be memorable.

As Wiseman, who has been an integral part of Uzalo since 2018, prepares to bid adieu, he will be shifting his focus to Mzansi Magic’s newest telenovela, “My Brother’s Keeper,” set to premiere on Monday, October 23. The producer acknowledged the significant impact both actors have had on the show and assured fans that their talents will continue to shine in the entertainment world.

While Uzalo prepares to say goodbye to these beloved stars, it also welcomes new additions to its cast. Notable newcomers include Vuyo Dabula, formerly of “Generation: The Legacy,” as well as Nonhle Jali and Slie Ndlovu. The show continues to evolve, offering fresh stories and characters to captivate its dedicated audience.
