Bentley, played by veteran actor Vuyo Dabula, was killed off less than a month after he first appeared in the television series, shocking Uzalo fans.Many people expressed shock about this.
According to an insider, Dabula, who played Gadaffi on Generations: The Legacy, left the show due to contractual issues with the show’s producer, Stained Glass Productions.
According to the source, Dabula was supposed to leave Johannesburg and spend every day on set in Durban during filming. As a result, he demanded additional money for his relocation to KwaZulu-Natal.
Vuyo wanted more money than they were willing to offer. Being in Uzalo long-term meant that he had to move to Durban and be on set every day for about 12 hours, so it wasn’t going to work for him.
According to the source, neither Dabula nor Stained Glass co-owners Gugu Zuma-Ncube and Kobedi Pokane were ready to compromise.There was a lot of excitement last month when Uzalo announced the addition of Dabula to the cast on its Instagram page. However, suspicions were raised when the post was quickly removed.
According to City Press Dabula told them that the Uzalo team had been nice to him, but he didn’t want to be interviewed.Uzalo’s publicists did not respond directly to addresses concerning Dabula’s departure.According to a source, the actor’s short appearance in the show was not really planned.
