Vuyo Dabula prepares to return to the spotlight

The actor pushed the boundaries when he starred in Queen Sono as Shandu Johnson Magwaza. He shared that this character allowed him to tap into the international space. He then got into more Hollywood productions, such as Avengers: Age of Ultron and more.

“Generations: The Legacy opened my career to a much wider local audience. And Queen Sono was a meaningful step toward reaching international viewers.”

His career does not come without its challenges, though. Vuyo took a bit of a break from the limelight.

Despite his success, Dabula is no stranger to the challenges of the entertainment industry.

“It’s tough to get to a position where you can control what you want to do, unlike in the USA. The industry here doesn’t always separate those with experience and decades of work from newcomers. But make no mistake—the stories and characters that deserve to be told will materialize,” he was quoted saying.
