Actors Menzi Biyela and Nompilo Maphumulo, known for their characters of Pastor Gwala and Nosipho have been let go by Stained Glass TV and their characters will exit Uzalo with the debut of the ninth season of the SABC1 soap in early 2023.
The Stained Glass TV production and SABC1 say the actors have been let go from the series and that their characters will exit the soap when season 9 starts next year.
"We want to take our hats off to the stellar performances of
Nompilo and Menzi over the years," says Thuli Nhlapo, SABC1 acting channel head. "Their portrayal of the characters, Nosipho
and Pastor Gwala, will forever be embedded in the hearts and minds of our
viewers."
King David Mukwevho, Uzalo series producer, says "We are incredibly honoured to have worked with
such talents".
"Nompilo has been an integral part of Uzalo since season one, she
has brought us a remarkable rendition of Nosipho that the fans will never
forget, and Menzi's portrayal of Pastor Gwala has been nothing short of
exemplary. Our viewers love them, and so do we. We wish them all the best in
their future endeavours."
