Viewers of the well-liked television series uMkhokha: The Curse will be ecstatic to see MaMzobe, their favourite character, return.
To the joy of fans, the actress who played Deli Malinga has returned to the show. Since the beginning of the programme, MaMzobe, a no-nonsense matriarch, has been a fan favourite. Her disappearance in recent episodes has left many viewers wondering where she disappeared.
Sources who spoke to ZiMoja confirmed that the channel demanded her return to the show. The source said even though producers thought they could continue the show without her, the big bosses at the channel did not want to take the risk of losing ratings as the show is currently doing well.
M-Net head of channel Nomsa Piliso confirmed that they had a meeting with the former Generations actress. “We discussed the issue with her but are not sure what she has decided yet,” she said.
Malinga was an integral part of the show’s success and captivated audiences with her larger-than-life personality. According to the source, she is the glue that keeps viewers watching. “Her following is amazing because of her talent and the way she brought the character to life. She is in a league of her own.”
According to the insider, money was one of the primary reasons she left in the first place. “She was not getting what she thought she deserved, but now that she renegotiated, it is going to be a different game,” according to a source.
