Veteran actor Menzi Ngubane has set the record straights about his exit on Mzansi Magic's popular sudser, Isibaya. This is after the rumour mill was on overdrive that he has been shown the door on the soapie.
Menzi who portrays the role of Judas Ngwenya had 3 successful seasons on the show, but a few days back, news of his exit spread like wildfire that he has been shown the door because producers of the soapie could not craft a better storyline for his conniving and ruthless character.
Yesterday Menzi released a statement on Instagram, to set the record straight about his exit. His Manager said "There have been misinformed reports that Menzi was dumped by the producers of Isibaya, however, we would like to clarify that the character had run its course, and unfortunately if there is no story to be told the character will unfortunately die. Menzi is leaving Isibaya on a positive note having contributed to a great production, most importantly he entertained South Africans" Said Naomi Mokhele.
She went to reveal that Menzi is currently working with producers of an upcoming South African and Tahi movie Red Cargo, where he will star alongside international stars such as Simon Kook.
Menzi said he is currently working on a mentorship programme called Twelve Auspicious Gentlemen with Menzi which focuses on mentoring young boys and addressing the impact caused by social ills committed in communities.
