In 2016 it was reported that Lesley Musina who plays Ndalamo Mukwevho on SABC 2 soapie Muvhango was leaving. Later that same week he confessed that it was a prank pulled by one of his attention-seeking friends.


Well this time, and pranks aside, the Venda hunk has confirmed that he shot his last scene on Muvhango last week and that he would appear on the soapie for the last time in May.
DRUM reports that Lesley admitted that he would no longer be on the show.

“I’ve been with Muvhango for three years now, as much as my journey has come to an end, it’ll always be home to me,” he said.

Although Lesley’s character will not be dying, and will only be written off, according to DRUM Magazine, he will be replaced by an unnamed young up-coming actor.

Sounding emotional, Lesley said he enjoyed his time at Muvhango and he made many friends.

“Soapies give a false sense of comfort and my brand has grown so much that I feel I need to explore other parts of the entertainment industry,” Lesley adds.

He says that, although his main focus would be on his job as host on reality show Speak Out, he has always been passionate about DJing, and radio presenting and he hopes to get behind the desk.

Former Generations and Muvhango actor, Rantebeng Makapan tied the knot this past weeked. His wedding was  not only attended by his close friends and family members but also fellow cast members.

Yep, wedding season is upon us and Rantebeng who was mostly famous for his character (Thomas Mashaba) on Generations said 'I do' and is officially off the market. The wedding was held in Makapanstad in the North West.

A couple of pictures of the groom and his beautiful bride surfaced on social media recently.

A couple of Muvhango and Generations cast members were also in attendance to witness Mr and Mrs Makapan's matrimony

Congratulations to the lovely couple may they many more years to come together.


According to Sunday World, the Sultry Muvhango actress Liteboho Molise has found herself entangled in a bitter polygamous feud, and she doesn't even know it.

The actress, who merrily announced Mpumalanga businessman Thabo Twala in the media as the man who put a smile on her face, this week appeared to be in the dark about her husband's polygamous disposition.

We are made to believe that Twala's first wife, Kate, recently asked Liteboho to leave her husband alone after the thespian paraded the tender tycoon to the media.

But Liteboho, whom Twala wedded and blessed with a Merc and a crib in one of the ritzy suburbs of Jozi, believes she is the only wife.

"When I met him, Kate was history. She was no longer with him ... even now they are no longer together. In fact, Thabo had just broken up with some woman called Mpho when I met him. He paid lobola for me and we live together with our child," she said.

Liteboho - who plays Teboho, wife of mayor Mulalo Mukwevho in the soapie - said Twala and Kate's last-born child had just turned three when she started dating him.

"I don't know why people say I'm a home wrecker, but I guess in situations like these it is always the woman's fault."

Kate insisted she doesn't recognise Liteboho's marriage to Twala.

"I have nothing much to say except that in as far as I'm concerned, I'm my husband's only wife," Kate said.

Twala, however, said Kate, Mpho and Liteboho were all his wives. "I'm a traditional man. I'm a polygamist. Kate is my first wife, Mpho is my second wife and Liteboho is my third wife. I love all of them and I take good care of them.

There is nothing wrong with having more than one wife, as long as I can afford them. I can afford to have three wives, that's why I bought them cars and houses.

"All of them are my wives and I have kids with them," he said.

Mpho confirmed that she is Twala's second wife.


"I'm his second wife and for your information Kate and I are very close. Liteboho is lying when she says this man left both of us for her," she said.

Just like a normal relationship, there are always ups and downs, no body lives in a perfect relationship forever. What makes one different in a relationship is the ability to endure to relationship challenges and take great decisions on handling the matter.

Muvhango actor Lesley Musina and TV host Andile Gaelisiwe made headlines last year when the two separated on matters relating to cheating.  Sunday Sun reported that Lesley cheated on Andile with a girl called Tshepiso Malope  from the SABC. 

Despite the wave that hit  their relationship last year, the two have endured to this and now live as lovers like never before. Andile and Lesley where spotted at the White Star celebrity Cook-off held in Witbank, Mpumalanga this past weekends and the pair couldn't let go each other's hand.

Actress Sindi Dlathu has opened up about the challenges that often come with taking on a big role, such as hers on SABC 2'S Muvhango, claiming that it is sometimes difficult to remove yourself from your character.

Speaking to BONA recently, the actress, who plays a character adored by many, Thandaza Mokoena, explained: "I play a sad character, and the mind doesn't know this is just an act because I have to immerse myself into it.

''The sad thing is that sometimes we never really come out of it."

Sindi further emphasised that the challenge with trained performers is that they convince themselves that they're able to detach from the characters they play, yet their bodies, unaware of the acting, remain with all the baggage of their respective roles.

"Because we are trained performers, we tell ourselves that we’re out of it, yet the body won’t be. Most of us, therefore suffer from fatigue, and it has symptoms of depression," she explained.

About a year ago, it was widely reported that Sindi was hospitalised after she was diagnosed as suffering from exhaustion, which saw her taking some time off work.

Muvhango's young actor Senzokuhle "Senzo" Radebe is recuperating at a Joburg private clinic after being involved in a freak car accident that nearly cost his life.

In the SABC2 soapie, Radebe (23) is better known for playing Sthe Gumede, a friend of heir to the Thate throne Vusi Mukwevho, portrayed by Raphael Griffiths.

The actor, a student at the International Fitness School and Academy in Sandton, north of Jozi, was last week walking near the bustling and busy Noord Street taxi rank in the Joburg CBD when the accident occurred.

"Apparently, he was crossing (the street) when two taxis collided and he was sandwiched between them," said Muvhango publicist Amanda Ngudle.

“What shocked me was that he didn’t have transport. I thought since he was staying with other actors they had transport arranged for them. My mum nearly had a heart attack, but she’s doing well. His arm was badly injured and was operated on,” she said.

Amanda said Senzo’s colleagues were shocked to hear he was admitted to a public hospital.

“That means they’re paid peanuts. We’re grateful to the people who recognised him when he was lying there injured. They called the SABC to tell them of Senzo’s accident.

“It didn’t go down well with other actors that their colleague was admitted to a public hospital and that he had to catch a taxi to work.

“They were calling for transport to be provided,” the actor’s sister said.

Senzo’s mum, Zamahlubi said:he lost his cellphone in the accident. “Thank God he’s still alive.”

Ngudle was sent some questions via SMS and she replied saying: “Are we talking about the same person you reported to have been on strike? You must be joking.”

When asked for comment, Senzo said: “I’m doing well. Tomorrow I’ll be discharged. And thanks to the sister who saw the accident and alerted my family.”
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.”


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,”

There you have it fam: Lesley is here to stay!

Lesley Musina has revealed that Wednesday night will be his last episode on Muvhango.


The actor, who plays Ndalamo, took to Instagram to share the news with his fans. 

He wrote: "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." 




He said he'll miss his cast members and the crew. 

On why he's leaving the show, the actor revealed: "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." 


As expected, some fans didn't take the news very well. One wrote: "No don't go please oh my gosh." While another said: "Oh no you're leaving...oh that's not so good in my ears as a fan." 

However, some wished him well on his new journey. "Goodbye u will be missed. All the best in your journey," read one comment. 


He will definitely be missed. We wish him all the best.

We had for long known Buhle Samuels as the chic with a mouth- watering behind and hot body, but it looks like he got a serious competitor and that is her co-star Nonny (Phindile Gwala) 

And while fans are sweating, trying to work out how she gets her body in that kind of shape, their results seem to be delayed for a while

Folks, take a look but don't touch!!!







Hip Hop megastar Emtee is set to make his much-anticipated debut on Muvhango tonight.

The Roll Up rapper will portray the role of Malose on the SABC 2 soapie; the oldest of three children and he comes from a humble background.

Malose’s back story is what many South Africans can relate to.

The character is described as a hard worker and did everything by the book when he was in high school. He believed that if he persevered he would reap the rewards.

Malose got very impressive results in high school and went to university with a full scholarship. But when he completed his business degree, he was in for a rude awakening. Try as he might to find a job, he just couldn’t find one.

He took on the first job he could get – which was as a waiter at Dukathole. So far, he’s managed to go under the radar but what his employers don’t know is that he’s been stealing from them. He justifies this to himself as the world owing him something.

“Shooting Muvhango was a dope experience and it was my first time working on a soapie. I learnt a lot and also realized that being an actor is not as easy as it looks. Acting is one of my passions and I would honestly like to pursue this further. Being in the same soapie as the likes of Thandaza, Chief Azwindini and KK was a memorable experience,” Emtee said in a statement.


According to reports by Sunday world, Muvhango creator Duma Ndlovu has seemingly shown SABC chief operating officer, Hlaudi Motsoeneng, the middle finger by failing to carry out instructions to give his actors three-year contracts.

The paper further reports that the battle lines have been drawn between the two heavyweights, with Motsoeneng insisting that "nobody defies me, including Duma Ndlovu".

Last year Motsoeneng instructed all production companies doing business with the SABC, in line with SABC policy, to give their main actors three-year contracts.

This came after 16 Generations actors challenged the soapie's big boss Mfundi Vundla to give them better contracts and salaries after claiming they were underpaid.

Leading SABC2 drama Muvhango is boycotting this year's 10th edition of the South African Film and Television Awards (Saftas).

The award ceremony will be held at Gallagher Estate in Midrand next weekend from Friday to Sunday.
The discontent with the Saftas stems from Muvhango apparently being undermined in the past.
The second night of the awards, a live TV broadcast on the very channel the drama airs, will be hosted by Expresso presenter Katlego Maboe.
Associate producer at Muvhango Morishe Matlejoane said the team decided to "indefinitely" not honour the awards "until an improvement is noted in the category nominations and selection process of judges".
Held under the banner of the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF), and honouring the best of South African TV and film with Golden Horn trophies, the awards are marred by criticism every year that several best productions are not included nor recognised.
Matlejoane said there would always be room to question the nominations in any contest where judges were selected "within" the system and not independently.
"For years, there's been growing scepticism around the processes followed by the organisers," said Matlejoane.
"On those grounds, the awards are not run to encompass every broadcaster and give a true reflection of the South African TV landscape.
"There are people working alongside those who are nominated and people working for rival production companies, all leading to major credibility issues.
"In the past, Muvhango has entered in every category in the soapies division for the Saftas, but it's been disappointing to see very little acknowledgement, if any, awarded to our hard-working team."
She said it was not by accident that Muvhango had reached a viewership of five million plus in nearly two decades of running successfully.
NFVFs' head communications Peter Kwele said Muvhago did not enter the Saftas this year, therefore as per the awards' guidelines, only soapies that were submitted for entry can be considered for the awards.
