At the time, the telenovela was known as Diepsloot. The actress left the cast of Uzalo which she had been a part of for four seasons.
There had been rumours of Uzalo doing a new-and-improved angle on the show but reports from industry insiders implied that King left before the latest season began filming.
In addition, when celebrity commentator Phil Mphela reported the news he referred to Dawn Thandeka King as a "former Uzalo star", which only fuelled rumours that she had already exited the show. The new series that Dawn reportedly joined is produced by Black Brain Pictures.
