Uzalo actor publishes another book!

RENOWNED actor, Thobani Nzuza publishes his second theatre Play Book.

The 31-year-old from KwaNgcolosi in Durban, who currently plays Chuma in Isitha: The Enemy, has published his second book, Shintsha Guluva.

Written in 2014 while he was studying drama at the Durban University of Technology (DUT), Thobani has appeared in many of Mzansi's top shows, including Uzalo, eHostela, and DiepCity.

He told Daily Sun he had not planned to publish the book, but a professor from Wits University encouraged him to do so.

The university intends to use the book to teach first-year students.

"The play has been staged by DUT students three times, and Wits University students also staged it. Early this year, one of the Wits professors sent me an email asking me to publish it," Thobani said.

"Before, I had no plan to publish it, but now I see the need because it'll allow other directors to use and direct it easily."

His first book, Boy Ntulikazi, was published in 2017 after he won the Baxter Zabalaza Theatre Festival in Cape Town.

Thobani specialised in scriptwriting and directing while studying for a diploma in drama at DUT.

"I was one of the writers on Ifalakhe, and now I'm busy polishing my writing and directing skills to write and direct my own show in the near future," he said.

Thobani stole many hearts when he played Mndeni in eHostela, alongside Lungelo Mpangase, who played Khethiwe.

He also played Khehla on Mzansi's most-watched soapie, Uzalo on SABC1, and now he's the problematic Chuma in Isitha: The Enemy on e.tv.
