Durban Gen is a series based on life in the heart of Newlands East. This is a township located in Durban, South Africa, in which the prestigious Durban General hospital is built. The hospital is considered one of the most prized assets of KZN healthcare, which makes it the most desired place for all medical personnel, especially doctors. The story of this series surrounds the hospital, how they practice, and the day-to-day life of patients in the hospital. The series premiered in October 2020 and has aired for two seasons. Durban Gen has proven to be a thriller month after month, and the new Durban Gen teasers for December 2021 promise even more.

Sadly, Thulane, who played the role of Doctor Mandla Ngcoba, was reportedly fired from the Durban Gen series. The young man who has been previously dismissed from the Uzalo series will also be let go by the Durban Gen brand after he had some contractual disagreements with them. The show directors decided to let him go after they failed to come to some understanding concerning his contract.
Meanwhile, Uzalo, which is another popular television series in South Africa, has returned this November with many interesting twists in the stories that form the on-screen lives of the characters, and we have got it all covered in this Uzalo teasers for December 2021.

Monica Thuli Zulu
Monica Thuli Zulu, who plays the role of MaCele on the show, will be leaving the Durban Gen show after the death of her character due to a heart attack. This happened after her (on-screen) husband told her that he had used up all their family savings. It is, however, not yet known the reason that prompted why her character had to be taken off in that manner, or perhaps it was part of the original script. But whatever be the case, Monica was a delight to watch while she was on the show.
Faces of the New Actor and Actresses Joining the Durban Gen Show
As it is the norm, we will see new faces on this beloved TV show, who will be joining mostly as interns. It will be a delight seeing as we keep tabs and see which one or if all of them will go on to become a regular feature on the television show.
