Fan-favourite actors Angel Zuma, Msizi Njapha and Kwanele Mthethwa are reportedly leaving Umkhokha: The Curse.
ANGEL ZUMA, MSIZI NJAPHA AND KWANELE MTHETHWA EXITS
Entertainment commentator Jabu McDonald reveals that Angel Zuma and Msizi Njapha who play a married couple, Nomkhozi and Khulekani Mthembu in Umkhokha: The Curse are leaving the show.
Actress Kwanele Mthethwa who took over Kwezi Ndlovu’s character in 2023 as Nobuntu is also leaving.
Sources from Umkhokha: The Curse previously revealed to Zimoja that Zuma has been offered a lucrative role on the internationally acclaimed musical drama, The Lion King.
“My friend has always wanted to go and work abroad. You don’t miss an opportunity of working in a production like The Lion King. It is every actor’s dream,” says the source.
The publication adds that the faith-based telenovela is completing season two and there is still no word from Mzansi Magic whether they are renewing contracts for season three or not.
Multichoice publicist Portia Hlongwane said they were not aware of the news of actors being fired or quitting the telenovela. “Let me find out for you. But Msizi’s storyline is still part of the show,” said Hlongwane.
Hlongwane also previously confirmed to Zimoja that Zuma has gotten an amazing opportunity to be part of the Lion King in Canada (Toronto).
‘UMKHOKHA: THE CURSE’ FANS REACT TO DEPARTURES
@Ayanda35951501: “For Kwanele Mthethwa I’m not surprised because we all new from Umkhokha the series that her character will end as Nobuntu by the curse. And also, by Angel Zuma I’m also not surprised because I hardly she got opportunities overseas, so I understand but for Khulekani I’m shocked.”
@NontobekoMajok3: “Nomkhosi and Khulekani had a plan sad but it’s okay. Nobuntu yena was as useless as they come and in fact her acting skills are just mediocre, even Gabisile is better with short sticking tongue.”
@ayanda_m04: “Well thank God. Angel Zuma and Msizi were so annoying. Is Kwanele making way for Khwezi to come back?”
@MtoloSam: “Guys seriously 1 season is enough these days. Especially for shows that play Mon to Friday.”
@WaMamkhabela: “OMG!!! I hope they bring back thr original Nobuntu… @khwezi_ndlovu … She was just perfect for the role.. The current Nobuntu struggled a lot to fit in…”
