Ngyabonga kakhulu uThando engilitholayo, akwandele bani...ngizokwenza ngakho konke ukuthi nginganijabhisi. Uthandolunye,” he wrote on Instagram.

This translates to: “I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the people who have welcomed me after the announcement that I will be joining The Wife, where I will be taking over from Bonko Khoza where he left off, who played the role Mqhele. Thank you very much for the love and support that I have received...I'll do my best o entertain you guys, One love.”

In a sattement, Mncube said “Mqhele is a very interesting role and I’m in my element: there’s a lot to chew on and play off, from the love story to the anger to the care. uBonko carried the role with so much respect and power. I’m not here to replace Bonko but to start my own journey as Mqhele and take things from where he left off and run with it in my own way.”

“Wiseman is a versatile performer with multiple accolades; Mqhele and his madness are in safe hands,” said sseries producer Kamogelo Aphane. “Wiseman’s work ethic and command of Zulu will take Mqhele to new heights this season.”
