Ndalamo apologies to fans: "It wasn’t me who posted a farewell message, I am not leaving"

IT’S not true! Muvhango actor Lesley “Ndalamo” Musina is not leaving the soapie after all.

Speaking to DRUM, the actor reveals that it wasn’t him who posted a farewell message on his Instagram but his friend. The post reads, “Thank you all for your support, tonight, I’ll make my final appearance on your screens on Muvhango. This is the place I’ve come to call home for the past two and half years.”

Read: Ndalamo call it quits with Muvhango

Thank you all for your support, tonight, I'll make my final appearance on your screens on Muvhango. This is the place I've come to call home for the past 2 and half years. I'll miss my fellow cast members and the crazy crew ya bo Msobho, all the directors, cameramen, Itu, Mpho, Siya, Seun, Pat and Lawrence. I've decided to go on a sojourn and to travel the world and ultimately retreat on a farm I've inherited from my uncle back home in Musina, Limpopo.👍👊✊👌

But it turns out it was all a prank. Ndalamo is going nowhere and neither is Lesley. The actor quickly released his apology on his Instagram to defuse the situation.

“My sincere apologies, someone close to me with access to my phone decided to pull a prank on the general public about me leaving Muvhango. I’d like to state categorically that it’s not true that tonight will be my last appearance nor am I leaving the soapie,” he stated.

Although I think it's bad to play such pranks on people, no harm was intended to anyone. I've been getting a lot of phone calls and messages from friends and media outlets. There's no truth at all in the post.
