Uzalo’s Season 7 will also see old characters making a huge comeback to spice things up. This includes Khaya Dladla, TK Dlamini, Nay Maps, as well as Nokuthula Mabika.

Speaking to Daily Sun Khaya Dladla confirmed that he is coming back and a flyer confirming their return has been making rounds on social media.

“I’m not sure when I’m going to appear on TV, but we have agreed to come back to Uzalo. I’m preparing to be on set soon,” Khaya told Daily Sun.

Recently astute entrepreneur Shauwn Mkhize joined the show. This was MaMkhize’s first acting gig and tweeps questioned her acting capabilities as news spread like wildfire that she is joining the show. The actress revealed to TshisaLive that she did not audition for the role and she has never had any interest in acting.

Uzalo viewers accused her of apparently paying the production to make her appearance, but she is no stranger to our small screens. Mamkhize had a reality show on Mzansi Magic called KwaMamKhize, which was centered around her family. The first season premiered early last year and she recently confirmed that there will be no season two.

Speaking to Drum magazine, she said she has accomplished what she wanted to and said there is no need for a second season.
