Legendary actor Themba Ndaba trended on social media over the weekend when viewers of The Queen shared hilarious videos of his character as Uncle Brutus.
Ndaba, who starred opposite Mbali Nkosi on the Mzansi Magic telenovela, had viewers reminiscing about his popular character.
The former Generations actor also previously made headlines on social media when he remarried for the third time.
Social media user @KaeTeeSA1 shared a clip of Ndaba's character from The Queen on his X account on Sunday, 16 November 2025.
"For someone who is the total opposite of who Mfanafuthi Brutus Khoza was, Themba Ndaba's performance throughout this telenovela was very believable. He really embodied this character of a drunk uncle with every bone in his body, giving us so many funny and memorable moments," he captioned the post.

"They must bring back The Queen! Brutus was something else."

"Definitely a 1 of 1 talent. Many could've played this role, but none of them would've done it like this! How Themba Ndaba translated and transcended the script, gave birth to these off-script and memorable moments we love, this character is up there as one of his best works."
