NYANISO DZEDZE: I WANTED TO QUIT' The former Generations actor Nyaniso Dzedze, whose character Dr Dhlomo was abusive towards his wife Sne (played by former Uzalo actress Nombulello Mhlongo) in Durban Gen said playing the character was his real-life experience as his father abused his mother growing up.

Dzedze revealed on his Instagram account he wanted to quit the role and called his agent crying:

I read the scenes and I realised that this was pretty much a reflection of what my mother went through with my dad. My dad was the Dr Dhlomo of my mom's life, said Dzedze.

It was so difficult for me to face that part of my hurt, part of my own story that I hadn't really told to myself.
