In an exclusive interview with Briefly News, the actor spoke about how he deals with fame that comes with being part of the star-studded cast of The Wife.

"Fame is dangerous and it is not easy to deal with it, but on my side I can say I'm managing it well because I was taught not to be an attention seeker. I take my job like other jobs, I don’t consider it more special than other jobs. So in the streets, I’m normal like everyone, sometimes I even forget that I’m an actor."

Peeps took to Twitter to also question Zandile's role in the show since she came out of prison. Many shared that they thought Season 2's storyline was all about her but claimed they have not seen that. Khanyi Mbau plays the role of Zandile.

@SaneSidimba commented:

"Honestly I hate this animosity between Hlomu and Zandile. Its time for these people to get their own homes. This commune thing is annoying."

@KingBishop2nd said:

"Apart from having sex, what exactly does Zandile do on this show? Isn’t Season 2 about her?"

@iamMihlalii wrote:

"Please! It's Sambulo’s time to shine now. Im looking forward to his and Mqoqi’s storyline. I think he has proven himself worthy to be the leader, clearly he has shown that he is more than just that brother who is always in the background."

@Jabu_Macdonald added:

"If y'all thought uBhut omdala is the leader of the family you are wrong, Sambulo is the real leader of the family, he makes things happen."
