Muvhango to revamp cast, releases several actors

SABC 2's flagship drama series Muvhango is getting rid of several actors to make way for new faces.

According to Sunday World, the whole of the influential Mojalefa family is being axed from the drama.

Tshidi Vera (Moriti), John Morapama (Lerumo), Rantebeng Makapan (Morapedi), Phuti Khomo (Carol), Snenhlanhla Mdlalose (Mangwashe) and Tryphina have not had their contracts renewed.

Insiders said the actors were being released to incorporate new faces into the show. Their axing comes after Lerato Kganyago, Simphiwe Ngema and Nkuli Tshirumbula were let go recently.

Muvhango publicist Amanda Ngundle failed to respond to queries about the actors exit.
