Wiseman Mncube finally bowed out of Uzalo after dropping his resignation letter in 2023.
Mncube joined Uzalo six years ago when his character, Sbonelo Mhlongo, an aspiring medical practitioner, was introduced to the viewers.
On the show, Masoja Msiza’s character, Nkunzi Mhlongo, played Sbonelo’s on-screen father, who introduced him to crime.
Taking to social media, he reflected on his journey with the Uzalo team.
“It’s been a beautiful journey, ngyabonga kakhulu [thank you so much] for the love and support you gave Sbonelo Babongile Mhlongo,” he wrote.
“I will never forget this journey, which changed my life. Good luck to the remaining soldiers. Continue with the baton maqhawe [heroes]; one love, one blood forever, Uzalo.”
In the biopic Nkalakatha: The Life of Mandoza in 2023, Mncube played the part of the most beloved artist, Mduduzi “Mandoza” Tshabalala.
