MaMlambo ‘Gugu Gumede’ salary at Uzalo leaked
A few weeks ago, Gugu Gumede saw herself trending after her rumoured exit made all sorts of headlines. The seasoned actress is best known for her on-screen character MaMlambo on South Africa most watched soapie Uzalo.
However, the seasoned actress happens to be the daughter of the late South African freedom fighter and prominent politician, MP Zanele kaMagwaza Msibi and the late Simon Hulumeni Gumede.
The renowned actress believes in the clout her tongue holds. She develops a craze for acting at the tender age of nine and natures it into existence when she tells her friend that she will be an actor someday.
If your wife hasn’t made dinner by 8.30 pm, just know you will have to eat it after hours. It’s time for Uzalo, and you wouldn’t want to disturb anyone with eyes glued to the screen because no matter how you try, they won’t snap out of the trance the soapie brings.
MaMlambo ‘Gugu Gumede’ salary at Uzalo leaked
How could they when Ma’Mlambo, the prejudiced, loud-mouthed and rumour monger, is on TV? She is the men stealing type on the show, but she indeed steals everyone’s attention when she steps into the scene. Now that you know tune in to SABC 1 every weekday at 8.30 and prepare to be mind blown.
Before joining the Uzalo cast, the celebrated star actress starred on Generations in 2015. Later that year, the vivacious actress bagged a lead role on Uzalo as MaMlambo.
In 2018, she presented the 11th Crown Gospel Music Awards and Somizi Mhlongo, Rebecca Malope, Clement Maosa and other celebrities. Many questions have been asked on how much does MaMlambo take home from Uzalo every month.
Salaries of actors vary with the production house. However, salaries of the highest-paid actors in the entertainment industry are based on show ratings, years of experience and obviously craft competence. Common logic dictates that Uzalo has the highest ratings, and it recently edged Generations: The Legacy on viewership reviews.
Uzalo boasts more than 9.88 million viewers while Generations has about 9.1 million viewers, as many could assume that Uzalo would have the highest-paid performers, but that’s not the case.
Depending on the scenes featured, the Uzalo firebrand MaMlambo gets a salary between R35 000 to R45 000 per month. When she is not on-set, she is either at church or making side hustles.
