SELLO MAAKE KANCUBE: I AM HAPPY TO BE BACK ON STAGE' The Skeem Saam actor Sello Maake KaNcube told Sowetan he's happy to be back on stage as he's joined the iconic play Nothing but the Truth as Sipho, which was previously played by John Kani.

I am happy to be back in stage acting. It has always been my wish to dabble in the two but over the years, the creative industry has not allowed me to do that. I remember when I was acting in Generations around 2000. I can tell you comfortably that I was able to shoot the show and direct shows later in the evening.

But somehow, as things evolved over the years, I can see that there was a concerted effort to actually close me out within the theatre space. I had fallouts with some productions because I wanted to do both. The productions did not accommodate that.

According to the publication, the legendary actor returns to stage with John Kani's classic play, Nothing but the Truth for a season at the Theatre on The Square in Sandton.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH' The Queen actor Sello Maake KaNcube also tells Sowetan that he fell in love with Nothing but the Truth when he saw the show for the first time at the Market Theatre years ago.

I was supposed to do this show a long time ago but the industry has not allowed me to do theatre acting and TV acting simultaneously. I know people are going to do a comparison between us but it is not about that.

It is about finding the affinity with the character and allowing the character to live.

Daphne Kuhn, who's the artistic director of Theatre on The Square tells Sowetan the theatre was excited to have Maake KaNcube as part of their programme.

We are proud to present the outstanding South African play, Nothing but the Truth, by the award-winning actor and playwright John Kani, said Kuhn.
