Grab your popcorn, folks! It seems that drama isn’t just reserved for the screen in the popular telenovela Umkhokha: The Curse; it’s spilling over into the behind-the-scenes chaos as well.
If you’ve been glued to your screens following the twists and turns of this gripping series, you might want to brace yourself for some shocking news.
According to ZiMoja, three prominent actors have reportedly been shown the door, and the reasons are as juicy as some of the plot lines we’ve come to love.

First on the chopping block is Msizi Njapha, who brings the character Khulekani to life.
Alongside him is his on-screen wife, Angel Zuma, known for her role as Nomkhosi.
Last but not least, we have Kwanele Mthethwa, who plays the beloved Nobuntu.
While Angel’s departure was initially confirmed to be due to her exciting new role in The Lion King in Toronto, inside sources claim that she was actually let go weeks beforehand. Talk about a twist!
The grapevine has been buzzing about alleged diva behavior from these stars, with sources suggesting that factors such as tardiness and even intoxication during shooting sessions led to their dismissal.
One insider shared, “These are the same reasons why Msizi was fired from The Lion King.” Ouch! It’s a tough pill to swallow for fans of these actors, who are undeniably talented but, it seems, their off-screen antics have led to precarious situations.
With Umkhokha wrapping up Season 2, many fans are left wondering about the future of the show.
The big question on everyone’s lips: will Mzansi Magic renew their contracts for Season 3? So far, there’s been radio silence from Multichoice, with no official word shared with the production team about the series’ fate.
Multichoice publicist Portia Hlongwane responded to inquiries by saying they were unaware of the alleged firings but promised to look into the situation. “Let me find out for you.
But Msizi’s storyline is still part of the show,” Hlongwane assured.
So, what does this all mean for the beloved characters in Umkhokha? With key players in limbo and decisions still hanging in the balance, it’s clear that the drama both on and off the screen is alive and well.
As more details unfold, we can only hope that the team behind the series can iron out these issues and keep us entertained with the gripping stories we’ve come to love.
Stay tuned, because the saga of Umkhokha is far from over!
