Uzalo’s Zekhethelo ‘Nyalleng Thibedi’ bids farewell after four years on the show
No doubt Uzalo won’t be the same without Zekhethelo. The bubbly actress talent was unmatched and she knew well how to wow Mzansi.
The vivacious character thrust into the limelight came when she joined Uzalo in 2017 but viewers are expected to see her for the last time on Friday, 10 September. Zekhethelo will say her last goodbyes to the community of KwaMashu and the church members.
Played by Nyalleng Thibedi from Soweto, Zekhethelo has been through a lot lately and according to the character, she feels there’s nothing left for her in KwaMashu.
After the confusion on whether Nyalleng was no longer leaving as per Uzalo’s previous confirmation, it has been confirmed she is leaving. She is pursuing her lipstick business. However, according to close sources, her last appearance is slated for today.
“She is hurt because her expectation of becoming pastor Sambulo Gwala’s wife didn’t become a reality. She feels embarrassed and because of that, she has decided to leave. So on Friday, she says her goodbye,” said the source.

Contacted for comment Nyalleng did confirm her exit but referred all comments to the showrunners. However, in the mix of things reasons behind her exit are not yet known. Uzalo spokeswoman Nomfundo Zondi also confirmed that Nyalleng has left the show after four years.
“But let’s leave Zekhethelo’s last day of appearance to the episode. The scene will be emotional and sad,” said Nomfundo.
Nyalleng joined Uzalo in 2017 after two failed auditions that she did in 2015 and 2016. She joined the telenovela’s family as Nkunzi’s daughter. It was later discovered that Nkunzi, who is played by Masoja Msiza, is not her biological father.
On her last days, she finds comfort in the arms of Pastor Gwala, who promised to marry her but later broke up with her without giving her reasons.
In other news, it was reported that Uzalo actress Mam’ Madlala opens up on dating Ama Ben 10s. She has been dupped as one of Mzansi’s fav on Uzalo. She has managed to wow Mzansi’s for so long. No doubt her unmatched talent is just out of this world. Well in, she’s the outspoken Mam’ Madlala, who likes gossiping and dating Ben 10s.
But Ntombifuthi Dlamini said that was all an act, which is the opposite of her real character. She said in real life, she was a shy person.
“Mam’ Madlala talks too much and I’m different. I’m shy and not an extreme churchgoer like her,” said Ntombifuthi.
