Vusi Kunene swaps Jack’s glove for a sketchbook. See who’s joining on House of Zwide
Aha. Eventually we have the 411 on exactly who’ll be in e.tv’s new House of Zwide when it starts on Monday 19 July at 19h00.
We have the cast, who’s who and who’s NOT.
As you probs know, Baby Cele and Lindani Nkosi have been attached to the project because they were cuddling in an Insta post, with the hashtag #newseriesloadingetv
We’ve asked e.tv about it and they tell us that the pair aren’t in House of Zwide.

But they’re in something else now that the channel’s on a local series blitz again. It’s been a while since e.tv’s gone all out with local series and suddenly it’s all happening, with two other shows currently in production: Isiphindiselo and a boxing series starring Warren Masemola, Jamie Bartlett and Kenneth Nkosi.
So Baby must be referring to one of these.
