“Showmax is busy recycling old faces, people need new faces, new talent.”
@Msiza_Nutty said:
“So vele vele there are no new and upcoming actresses who were the best candidates for the role?”
@officialGeeN commented:
“We really need new faces, honestly, there are so many aspiring actors out there but they are never given an opportunity to showcase their talent.”
@Janet_nzabe contended:
“Say whatever you want to say but Khanyi can act!”
@SesonaTheGift argued:
“I'm not mad at this actually cause Zandile is described as a streetwise glamour queen. Khanyi will definitely kill this role. Can't wait to see her.”
And @IamAfrican2221 added:
“Zandile was glamorous and very strong-willed. Remember her first outing with Hlomu where Zandile fought with the guys at the other table. Also, she didn't understand why Hlomu was allowing herself to be "controlled" sometimes. Actually, Khanyi is perfect.”
