The first three episodes of the third and final season of The Wife became available this morning and viewers got a taste of the new Mqhele played by Wiseman Mcube.
Wiseman takes over from Bonko Khoza, who won Best Actor at the SAFTAs this year and was named the “National Husband” by Twitter for the role.
Hlomu and Mqhele’s love story remains complicated this season.
Wiseman warns Mqhele is still “dark and abusive,” while Mbalenhle Mavimbela says they’re in a “deep into toxic love now.”
Wiseman has played dark roles before; Jama in eHostela, and Sibonelo in Uzalo.
He tells Kaya 959 that he’s enjoyed working with Mbalenhle:
“I won’t lie; it’s been nice. It’s been an interesting journey between the two of us because we’ve known each other on Instagram and we would just compliment and show appreciation of each other’s work. We’ve always said that one day we will work together, God willing. So when it happened, it became a full circle moment. That in itself made it easy because we both wanted to work together.”
Here’s what people are saying on social media:
CONGRATS to Wiseman Mncube who although got a role already established by another actor, made it his own!🔥
