Wiseman Mncube, who plays the second Mqhele in the Showmax telenovela The Wife, revealed to The South African at the season three premiere of The Wife (6 November) that he will return to his popular role as Sibonelo in Uzalo.

Mncube, who left Uzalo several months ago after his character was injured by Njinji Magwaza (Thembi Nyandeni) and fled to Nigeria, has begun filming in Uzalo and will return in 2022, though he couldn’t give us an exact date.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The actor also told City Press that his latest role, Mqhele, was similar to his Uzalo character, Sbonelo.

“When I look at Mqhele and Sbonelo, I see the same person, they are similar – stubborn and violent – so, when I read the script, I could not get my head off Sbonelo. So, I had to differentiate and not take Mqhele to Uzalo and vice versa.”

“I am excited, but I can also say it is mixed emotions because Mqhele is a role that was played by Bonko and people loved him. Replacing a person is not an easy thing because now people are waiting to see how I will do, and he has loyal fans. But, as an actor, it puts me on the edge because I love challenges that put me out of my comfort zone.”
