Muzi Mthabela’s New Role
According to TVSA, Muzi Mthabela will portray Mxolisi Xaba in the show.

Nomfundo, who heads the domestic staff at the Dlamini home, has been entangled in a complicated relationship with her married partner, Njengaye, portrayed by Siyabonga Shibe.
New Additions to the Cast
In addition to Mthabela, the show will feature Thembi Mtshali-Jones as Nengelosi Nolwazi Shange, with her daughter Phetheni being played by Ayanda Borotho.
Zimoja reported that Mtshali-Jones has already started filming her scenes.
Thembi Mtshali-Jones joins a growing list of stars, including Baby Cele, who plays Deliwe’s sister.
Mzansi Magic was contacted for comments on September 10th regarding these new developments.
Slindile Nodangala Bids Farewell
In other news, Mzansi Wethu has announced the departure of Slindile Nodangala, who played Deliwe Mbambo.
The channel shared on X: “We say goodbye to Slindile Nodangala, who portrayed Deliwe Mbambo in the first season of Sibongile & The Dlaminis.
As the storyline evolves and new characters join, Deliwe’s arc concludes.
Nodangala’s performance was both compelling and polarizing, making her a memorable part of the show.”
Nodangala’s exit follows Luyanda Zwane’s departure, who previously played the original Sibongile Mbambo.
Despite these changes, the show continues to capture audiences, with the Broadcasting Research Council of South Africa reporting 1.3 million viewers in June and July.
