It has been confirmed that Lesley Musina’s contract with SABC 2 soapie Muvhango has not been renewed after three years on the show.
“It’s not a rumour. Yes actor Lesley Musina’s contract has not been renewed for the current season. Our writers have not been able to craft a big story for him and because his is such a prominent character, it would have been shameful to just let him float through the season without a gripping storyline,” said Amanda in a statement.
Lesley, who has become popularly known for his character Ndalamo Mukwevho, also confirmed the news to TshisaLIVE.
“Yes it’s true, I’ve left Muvhango. I’d like to diversify my brand, Muvhango has really been good to me. I’ve enjoyed every minute of my tenure there, it’s time to focus on other things. To my supporters, thank you so much for your steadfast love and your ever unwavering support,” Lesley said.
In June last year a friend of Lesley’s played a prank on him by sharing news of his exit on social media.
The statement, which caused a frenzy, detailed how Lesley had “left the show to travel the world.” – TimesLive
