Who Joined or Left the TV Series Lately?
No actor recently joined Uzalo for any role. However, one of the show’s popular actors exited the show a couple of weeks ago to find greener pastures. His name is Siyabonga Radebe.
Siyabonga Radebe
Radebe joined Uzalo six months ago as the ruthless and reckless character Vika Magwaza. Vika was a lethal criminal who caused a lot of trouble in KwaMashu and participated in crimes such as car high-jacking and murder.
Radebe is said to left the show to look for a more challenging environment and greener pastures. The production crew confirmed last month that he had left the show for good. However, some sources claimed that the actor left because he was earning low salary than he deserved.
Siyabonga is said to have since joined the cast of the South African thriller The Wife as the fictional character Mqhele Zulu. The character was formerly played by Bonko Khoza.
Uzalo is Produced By Khumbulani Hlongwane
Uzalo was created by South African poet and filmmaker Duma Ndlovu and produced by Khumbulani Hlongwane. The popular crime TV series runs on SABC1 at 8:30 pm every weekday for 23-25 minutes.
The show’s executive producers are media experts Gontse Lekgetho and Mmamitse Thibedi. Uzalo is currently airing its eighth season with over 1840 episodes as of July 2022. The telenovela first premiered in 2015 and is being distributed by SABC.
