UZALO': FANELE NTULI REPLACES OMUHLE GELA Phil Mphela added that Nkanyiso Mchunu will debut on 10 January in the role of Siphamandla Wizard Nkosi. Zimoja recently reported that Uzalo replaced Omuhle Gela with Durban Gen actress Fanele Ntuli for the role of Nomaswazi .
Gela was allegedly unhappy because she moved from Johannesburg to KwaZulu-Natal for the show, only to be given a contract that had different terms from what she and the production company had initially agreed on.

Fanele Ntuli takes over the role of Nomaswazi and will be on screen on 2 January 2023.
According to the publication, the former Muvhango actress' departure from the show apparently left chaos in the production.
Producers were under immense stress because they had just finished shooting Season 8, which ended in September and Omuhle had already shot most scenes for season 9, a close source said.
