The mass exodus continues: Linda Majola exits The Wife. He has been topping trends of late. Linda Majola joins a bandwagon of a list actress who dumped The Wife in the eleventh hour. The drama series has been having problems with its storyline and plot that has often seen it trending for the wrong reasons.
Many have fingered the mass exodus of lead actors as the main reason behind the drama series’ fall from the limelight. I was dealt a big blow when Bonko Khoza, Abdul Khoza and Zikhona Sodlaka left the show. In the mix of things, Majola is the latest cast to leave the show. He had his shot at fame through his debut gig after nailing the character of Langa.
The mass exodus continues: Linda Majola exits The Wife
He made his television acting debut with the character of Langa and took to his social media at the top of the week to share some of the memories and experiences he would treasure from the set as he marked his last day on the set. In the caption of the touching video montage, which was edited in black and white to set the mood, Majola reflected on his experience with the caption by sharing that:
“The first time I stepped onto set, I could feel the sun’s rays shine inside me. Acting fuels a fire I never knew still existed. I felt like a child rediscovering and learning this world all over again. Words cannot begin to describe the gratitude I’m filled with. My only regret is that it took me so long to believe I deserved it.“

The Wife is the Showmax original series which first premiered back in 2022. The series is loosely based on the Hlumo novels by Dudu Busani-Dube. To say “loosely based” would be an understatement, as the series has continually faced backlash for how it has taken liberties in terms of the events that take place in the books versus those that happen in the series.
