With Bukiwe playing the role of a teenage high school learner in Gomora, many of her fans were shocked to know that the Xhosa native was in her late 20s when she revealed her age in November 2021. Presently, the 30 years old actress is one of the youngest brand ambassadors of Renault South Africa.

Bukiwe Keva completed her high school education in 2011 when she was 17 years old. Subsequently, she bagged a Drama qualification from City Varsity and then moved to Johannesburg to kickstart her professional career.

What Happened to Asanda Phango in Gomora?

On August 12th, 2022, rumors started making rounds online that Asanda Phango was fired from Gomora. She was allegedly sacked via a Whatsapp text message as she failed to show up on set. The actress was said to have missed a shoot on set because she was feeling ill.

She, however, provided a doctor’s report as evidence that she was sick that day, but that didn’t remedy the situation. Afterward, Gomora Producer Seriti Film reportedly stated that Bukiwe’s contract was that of a call actor. As a result, her character was dependent on the storyline, which abruptly came to an end in August 2022.
