After parting ways with the channel due to irreconcilable differences, TV presenter and former singer Andile Gaelisiwe is back to claim her position as the host of Moja Love’s Uthando Noxolo.

Entertainment commentator Phil Mphela reported that Andile would reprise her role as the host of the show via X.The news of her return comes after the presenter had been suspended by Moja Love, after she took them to the CCMA for unfair treatment in the workplace.

 

 

 
It seems both parties have ironed out their differences and South Africa will be seeing Andile once again on their TV screens. Having previously worked at Yfm and the hit show Khumbul’ekhaya, she has cemented herself as a fan favourite among her fellow hosts.

According to the Moja Love publication, Uthando Noxolo is a “Reality show centred around forgiveness where the perpetrator seeks to meet with the victim and ask for their forgiveness. In other instances, the victim has decided to let go of their pain and confront their perpetrator giving them forgiveness even if they have not asked for it.”

With Andile set to return, to what some viewers believe is her rightful role as host, the anticipation is at high level. South Africa is ready to be captivated once more by her ability to connect with the different people that appear on the show.

“Thank God!! She really does way more than hosting the show. I’m so happy for the families she will encounter. Andile is really made for this show,” said one user.
