LIFE AFTER THE WIFE The talented actor Kwenzo Ngcobo, who won DStv Mzansi Viewers' Choice Favourite Rising Star in 2022 also reveals to Sowetan that life after The Wife was rewarding and challenging.
Life after The Wife was quite rewarding and challenging at the same time. I lost my dad shortly after we finished shooting the series last March.
I'm the type of person who prefers to keep my things private. I prefer to separate my life from my work I didn't want what I was going through to affect my job. I knew I had to bring my A-Game despite what I was going through.
The former Imbewu: The Seed actor adds that he was labelled a difficult actor with diva tendencies, but such a narrative didn't scare him as he made a thorough introspection and know he was never wrong.
The isiZulu actor also reveals that he is currently in a relationship and very happy.
