#Imbewu FIKILE AND ZIMELE BHENGU RESURRECTED?
City Press reveals that producers of e.tv telenovela Imbewu: The Seed have allegedly resurrected dead characters Zimele Bhengu and Fikile Bhengu, played by actors Tony Kgoroge and Phindile Gwala to boost ratings.

Kgoroge, who portrayed the character of Zimele “Ngcolosi” Bhengu, exited the show in 2020 while Gwala’s character Fikile was cut short in November 2021.
A crew member told the publication that Zimele will return and Kgoroge is allegedly back on set, filming for his grand return.
“Tony has started filming on set with the other actors for his return. They needed to bring him back because the viewership numbers are not doing very well and they had to bring him back.”
Another source revealed that former Muvhango actress Phindile Gwala-Ngandu whose character committed suicide a year ago has also returned.
E.tv’s spokesperson Thapelo Ramatsui did not yet respond to City Press at the time of publishing this article.
It is also believed the show is bringing back old actors after a group of KwaZulu-Natal organisations threatened to block filming after the show made drastic cost-cutting measures, which led to more than 80 casts and crew leaving the Durban-based show within a year.
