Olwethu Siphosethu Mackay is a South African born and bred youngster who has luckily managed to squeeze himself in the entertainment industry and found his space to occupy. Born on the 11th of July in 2003, the 20-year-old talented actor rose to prominence after playing the character of Senzo on House of Zwide which he is now bidding farewell to.
After the playing role of being a snob on House of Zwide as Senzo Zwide for the past 2 years, he has exceptionally portrayed this character and brought to life who the House of Zwide producers have dream of Senzo Zwide to be. He played a role of being the last born son in the Zwide family where he acted alongside Vusi Kunene and Winnie Ntshaba who were his parents portraying the roles of Funani Zwide and Faith Zwide. As the last born som, he had a good
relationship with his sister, Londeka Mchunu who plays the role of Zanele Zwide, and his brother, Wanda Zuma, who plays role of Nkosikhona Zwide. After Alex Khadzi attacked him at the fashion house, Senzo was hospitalised for over a month and when the doctor’s were about to switch his life’s support, he woke up. He rose up to hie feet and became better but what is sad now is that he has now passed away according to last night’s episode and his family is left weeping for him.When someone dies on a television drama series, the producers and directors of that drama series have always make it known to us that it means their storyline has come to an end. A storyline comes to an end when they no longer afford to pay for that character or when his/her role no longer serves the story. Below are some comments from people as Senzo leaves the soapie.
