KWENZO NGCOBO: ‘THIS IS EXCITING’

 

The award-winning actor Kwenzo Ngcobo tells Sowetan he’s excited to join the soapie as he’s been a fan for many years.

“This is exciting. I’ve been a fan of Scandal! for many years and to be honest, I just wanted to try something new. The show is known for great storytelling, and I knew it would help sharpen my craft and growth as an actor.”

The actor adds that he feels honoured to join a show and he began shooting for the role in July.

“Some of the cast members are people that I know. One is from my hometown… so, I didn’t feel displaced. I also treat my time on set as I would any. I usually grasp and learn as much as I can from my storyline and colleagues.”

The former The Wife will debut on the soapie in August as Nhloso Gasa. He is the second star to join the soapie after Londeka Sishi who will play the role of Busisiwe.
