Recently, the Queen has lost many talents. Actor SK Khoza who plays Shaka Khoza was recently given the boot following assault allegations lodged by his ex-fiancée Ayanda Hlongwane. Sunday World reported that the actor was arrested after Mandy after he allegedly physically abused her.

This follows an incident that allegedly took place at Mandy’s Fourways home where SK allegedly beat her up. The actor made an appearance at the Randburg magistrate court on October 13, where he received a bail of R2 000.

Ferguson Films, the company that produces the Mzansi Magic soapie, wished him all the best in his future endeavors as he exited the show. It also paid tribute to him for his dedication to his craft and expressed its confidence that he will continue to excel in his craft.

Actress Cindy Mahlangu, who played the role of Siyanda has also left the show with immediate effect and it is still unclear why she decided to dump the show.
