No doubt Durban Gen has fast become one of the most followed drama series in Mzansi. The drama series saw its name going down in the history books of South Africa Soapies after it reached the 2 million viewers mark within three weeks after its debut. We can all agree that the drama series is having its fair share of success.
In the come around of all these big wins, the soapie recently got Mzansi talking. It was announced that three of its current hot head will be axed soon. However little is known if it’s a domino effect or what. But of interest amongst the three axed is Thulane Shange played Mandla.
Talented actor Thulane Shange has reportedly been fired once again from a popular production. After allegedly getting fired from Uzalo, Thulane scored an acting gig on the popular Etv show called Durban Gen as Doctor Mandla Ngcobo. Entertainment commentator Phil Mphela gave the scoop on his popular channel The Entertainment Alert where he revealed that Durban Gen will be letting go of three cast members at the same time.
The telenovela is letting go of Lihle Dhlomo who played the role of Doctor Precious Dlamini, Sifiso Sibiya who played Bab’ Gumede and Thulane Shange played Mandla. Thulane joined the show recently but will be let go very soon. This raises eyebrows because he is a pretty gifted actor. Many grew to love him on Uzalo but also left prematurely due to the same reasons, issues.
Rumour has it that Thulani Shange is being let go because of contractual disputes. It has been established that the actor and the production company [Stained Glass], could not reach an agreement on his fee.”
