Sibongiseni Ngubane, who played Khathaza in Uzalo, is expected to return to Uzalo this month. Sibongiseni Ngubane played the part of Khathatha who entered Uzalo as the antagonist of Nkunzi Mhlongo “Njomane, Bhebhe” who decided to take vengeance against Nkunzi for murdering his kin.
Khathaza stole Nkunzi’s wife Mangcobo as part of his vengeance, but later died in the Uzalo telenovela, murdered by the KwaMashu gang for converting to a beast that killed people.
Uzalo reveals his U-turn on Uzalo in order to build more drama and friction between Mangcobo and Nkunzi. Khathaza’s U-turn on Uzalo would set Mangcobo and Nkunzi on fire as each of them will be the key opponents of Khathatha’s U-turn on Uzalo. About his death on Uzalo, it is claimed that Khathaza survived death, implying that he did not perish. When Uzalo ‘s producers inquired about this, they declined to execute the plot ploy until the actual TV appearance.
Both lovers and fans of Sibongiseni Ngubane, Khathaza, are instructed to switch to Uzalo from Monday to Friday to restore Khathatha ‘s character.
