ABDUL KHOZA: I APOLOGISE TO EVERYONE WHO WAS HURT' The former Isibaya actor Abdul Khoza, who played the fan-favourite character of Nqoba Zulu also apologised to his fans from The Wife after his role got killed last Thursday.
I'd like to thank everyone who supported my craft. I also want to extend my gratitude to everyone who showed me love while I was acting on The Wife. I will always love you. In the same breath, I'd like to apologise to everyone who was hurt by my exit.
Khoza added that no character writes his or her own story and asked fans to understand

I cannot change or influence any show to keep any of my characters once they have written the story. I am just an actor right now, hope we see each other on our next journey. I will forever be honoured and humbled by the love of our viewers. We appreciate each and everyone of you. Thank you beautiful Mzansi.

Ladydu_sa:
You play every part soo passionately that the fact that they didn't see your rate percentage puzzles me. When the show's rating drops it will be sad. I wish these people understood rates per actor, so they know that the ratings on a show I based on collaboration, not the story they are telling.
Kay.el:
The Wife can end now, what is The Wife without Nqoba? My favorite actor and the way he laughs, no, once The Wife e fele.
Khanyi4512:
Mxm the part I don't understand is, why would the powers that be end a character that is clearly adored by so many viewers? #bored! Siyabonga kakhulu Mr Khoza! So now what's the point of watching The Wife?
They really fucking killed Nqoba ..I hate this show maaahn #TheWifeShowmax pic.twitter.com/Uc1qa8pB3v
