Shabalala who was trolled on The River for his questionable acting skills along with his on-screen wife, Larona Moagi is already shaded for bagging his new role. Fans of The Legacy are hoping that he’s improved his acting skills since exiting The River and are already cringing at the thought of seeing him on their screens again.
Here are some reactions to the news of Shabalala’s new gig:
“Tshedza seemingly like his acting…kodwa nami sengiyamzwela akanikwe elinye ithuba.”
“I feel like the Lindani role just was too big for him, I don’t have anything against the guy. Someone else could’ve done that role justice by my opinion, I was happy when he was killed off.”…bright side : i don’t watch him but if he really can’t , the intensity of talent already on that set will propel him . It happens , the energy around rubs off and before you know it he’ll be a best actor nominee.”
“uyaphi, why angayi kuGomora?”
“Makaye ku Gakarations.”
“Let’s just hope he improved as an actor ngoba hayi ngekhe.”
I love Lunga but I swear I feel like he gets his Gigs via connections cause even though hes a 10/10 man, he’s definitely a below everage actor yet he secures spots on huge soapies.”
“This is huge, congratulations to him. The ones that were on about how he couldn’t act batlo painelwa strong.”Who is Lunga Shabalala’s on-screen father, Msizi Zulu?
The character is played by award-winning actor, Siyabonga Thwala who played the role of taxi boss, Mpiyakhe Zungu on Mzansi Magic’s canned novella, Isibaya.
