Dawn Thandeka King Abandons Uzalo For A New Series “Diepsloot”

Actress, Dawn Thandeka King who recently made headlines after it was announced that she is leaving SABC1’s Uzalo is joining new series under Black Brain Pictures production titled Diepsloot.It was reported that Dawn Thandeka King had some disputes with the management leading to her quiting the show cast.

However, entertainment commentator, Phil Mphela allege that another reason for her leaving the show had to do with her new job opportunity on a new production in Johannesburg, hence she has left Durban for the new job.

Not much is known about the new series under production but rumour has it that Dawn Thandeka King has been offered a leading role in the cast.

Black Brain Pictures, which takes pride in production some of Mzansi’s hit series like Side Dish and Lockdown is known for producing quality content for Mzansi screens.

Uzalo’s Mangcobo has worked with this production company before when she had a leading role on Lockdown.

Considering reports that Uzalo was once been put on notice by SABC1 and were told to come up with creative storylines or face being cancelled, following months of “boring” content and declining viewership; Mangcobo’s departure will surely come with so many effects on the show.

She probably left the show due to uncertainty surrounding Uzalo.

We wish her all the best in her new endevour.
