Following the latest episodes of “The Wife”, there have been rumours that Khoza, who plays the fan favorite character of Nqobizitha Zulu, is leaving the show.
The Nqoba character was shot by one of the Ndlovus, who are the Zulu brothers’ rivals.
In a now-deleted Instagram post, Khoza also raised panic among fans by seemingly announcing his departure from the role, with some saying they would give up on the show if he left.
The 34-year-old actor, whose character is a belligerent loudmouth, made the announcement on Thursday morning that he would be leaving the show. However, he later deleted his post.
The post read as follows: “It’s been an amazing journey with you all on #TheWifeShowmax. Thank you to the entire cast and crew for embracing me to the fullest. I shall miss you all and wish you a greater journey ahead. You have inspired my career with this amazing show, ngiyabonga mina uNqobizitha Zulu lo, sengihembe [thank you. I, Nqobizitha Zulu, am out] !!.”
KHOZA REASSURES FANS HE IS STILL ON THE SHOW
While viewers were still reeling from the news that one of their favs is leaving next week, Abdul Khoza then posted another IG message reassuring them of his stay. The post was accompanied by a screenshot of a ZAlebs article reporting his exit, as well as pictures of him and Zikhona Sodlaka – his baby mama, Mandisa, on The Wife.
“I’m sure this is the MAJOLA’S who ran to media..BUT NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION!! Uthi uMa ka NDUMISO ninga bona amabele enyokha [Ndumiso’s mother says that would never].”
– Abdul Khoza
The star further thanked fans for supporting them in season two: “… we are honoured to be part of this amazing journey with you. AS FOR ME DYING, HEEE HEEE!! UNGAFA [LOL YOU WOULD DIE].”
Khoza, however, later set the record straight.
On Instagram, Khoza posted a picture of a tweet by ZAlebs saying he had departed from the show, but in the caption he made sure to calm fans’ fears.
“AS FOR ME DYING, HEEE HEEE!! UNGAFA, oMajola nezibamu zabo zezinyoni. Basazongithola Kahle mina, nguCHAIRMAN MAYIBAMBELA..oNever Die By Mistake,” he wrote.
The award-winning actor also thanked his fans for their support during season two, and as for his character dying, that certainly is not the case.
IOL Entertainment reached out to Showmax’s publicist about Khoza’s possible departure from “The Wife” and they referred us to his post, which reassures viewers that Nqoba will still be part of the sto
