The River is hit with mass exodus as Lunga Mofokeng ‘Andile’ confirms exit. Mzansi Magic telenovela The River has been topping trends of late after it was revealed that it was being cancelled. In the wake of its cancellation, several actors have been dumping the drama series. No doubt Mzansi saw this coming.
Earlier this year a polarising and saddening season saw the exit of its three fan-favourite characters from the telenovela. Lead actors like Tango Ncetezo who played the beloved character of shebeen queen and unlucky in love, statement eyebrows Paulina bowed out. She took her final curtain call as her last episode aired.
Her exit also came in the backdrop of Lawrence Maleka’s exit. He was that star actor we all love to hate. Maleka starred that typical kasi boy and right-hand man to the lead character Lindiwe Dlamini-Dikana, and Zolani Dlamini.

Like Ncetezo, Lawrence, a social media recluse, took to Twitter to interact with all the farewell messages as The River ended a prolific era with his exit. Additionally, there is the exit of Hlomla Dandala. Currently, Dandala has been the most forthcoming in explaining why he left after he confirmed his exit last year towards the end of the year.
Andile Dikana has been played for five seasons and counting by Lunga “Luchy” Mofokeng. He is the only remaining Dikana original child to have survived all five seasons into the upcoming fifth season. This is as previous seasons had the deaths of Mbali, Tumi, and now Zolani.
As such, when he took to Twitter recently. His post seemed to leave many confused about whether he was bidding farewell to his exiting cast members or announcing his departure fr While the character’s life currently hangs on the balance within the world of the story on the show. Seeing as many were confused, it would make sense that Luchy addressed the matter. However, this has been his last post since.
