It has been an amazing 23 years working on the show. Being part of the show taught me a lot about acting. I always thought I knew how to act but I have been learning every day in these 23 years. I even learnt from the young actors who are coming into the industry.
Shaka Ilembe actress Nobuhle Mahlasela, who plays businesswoman Aggie Ngwenya in the SABC2 soapie tells the publication that she's still trying to process the news.
Mahlasela adds there's a sense of sadness because people won't have work because everyone knows the industry is very difficult and hopes Hope people will find other opportunities because most of the cast members are breadwinners. She's also optimistic that they will find work and be able to still provide for their families.
