Simphiwe's last TV role was in Rockville season 5 where she played the role of Innocentia. Season 5 finale took place last month and it was an epic one. The star-studded cast includes Shona Ferguson, Mbali Mlotshwa, Ayanda Thabethe, Connie, and Brenda Ngxoli, and new faces such as Thuli Phongolo and Wiseman Zitha.

Shona Ferguson had this to say about season five, "Shooting season 5 of Rockville was 5 years in the making. I'm so glad that we waited and we also got to this point because it was absolutely an amazing experience, we worked with an amazing cast and crew. Every day as hard as it was because it was physically and emotionally draining, we really had a lot of  fun and for me, that's what makes a show to be great."

In a separate post he wrote, "To the entire cast & crew, THANK YOU for your world class talent and professionalism. You guys make me happy. Thank you @mzansimagic for trusting us to bring another season of the show that started drama series on the channel...To the amazing, resilient, passionate, hardworking team at Ferguson Films, SALUTE. On to the next one Enjoy the season finale of ROCKVILLE this Sunday 27th June."


Family Secrets however is not so popular with the viewers as it has been receiving lukewarm reviews about season 1, with people hoping season 2 will be different. We certainly do hope that with the new talent added things will change.

"Tried watching family secret the first season went to 4 episodes but there was no connection for me it was a waiste of great actors nje could not continue anymore and don't think I have it in me to see how would season 2 be," said a follower.

"I just hope season 2 is better..... I couldn't even  finish episode 1," said another disappointed viewer.

"Ayisabhori nkosiyam...yoh yabhora iShow!! (what a boring show.)"


Replacing Mangaliso Ngema on the show is Nimrod Nkosi who will take over as Caesar Mokoena.
