No doubt he has been making all sorts of headlines of late, from his much-talked-about Uzalo exit to bagging a lead role on Mzansi Magic’s drama series DiepCity.

A few weeks ago, Ntokozo Dlamini made all sorts of headlines when he made his much talked about return on Mzansi’s most-watched drama series Uzalo as Mastermind. However, it seems as if he has already bowed out again in the mix of things.

After the celebrated actor has been trending of late, it was confirmed that he would join the star-studded cast of Diep City as Bafana. Ntokozo Dlamini will be starring alongside former Uzalo cast Dawn Thandeka King best known for her MaNgcobo on-screen character on Uzalo.

He will also be rubbing shoulders with Mzansi’s finest, the likes of Mdudusi Mabaso, best remembered for his on-screen character on Rhythm City as Suffocate Ndlovu. Dlamini will make his debut on 31 January 2022.

Sources have it that he has already joined the DiepCity cast and is shooting his scenes already.

On the Mzansi Magic drama series, he will be starring in a more similar role than Uzalo.

According to the script, Bafana comes back to Diepsloot after years of living lavishly in the fancy suburbs of Fourways. However, his father also happens to be a celebrated business mogul.

Barely a few weeks in Diepsloot he finds himself in a messy situation that proves the notion: three is a crowd.

“Joining DiepCity as Bafana will show viewers a different perspective to my craft as opposed to characters I’ve portrayed before. Bafana loves the soft life and enjoys the rush of Diepsloot, which makes this character even more interesting. It’s going to be quite a beautiful journey,” he said.

“Heads turn when he walks by and hearts melt when he speaks, but who will get to steal his heart? Tune in to find out,” added Dlamini.
