The police force welcomes Constable Biyela, played by the gifted Thabisile Zikhali, an honest and well-educated woman determined to keep the department on the straight and narrow. Alongside her is Flavia, played by the talented Sthembile Mhlongo, a focused and independent career woman.

Love is in the air in Kwamashu as viewers are introduced to the beautiful and intelligent Amahle Sishi, played by the brilliant Hope Mbhele, who enters the Uzalo world as a fun and liberal woman that captures the attention of Lilly. The gifted Sandile Mfusi enters KwaMashu as a driven and charming Kwanda that woos Nonka into his attractive web, concealing his ulterior motives.

We are confident that our viewers are eager to continue experiencing authentic stories that represent their everyday realities in a way that resonates with them.” said Pepsi Pokane

Uzalo has been working hard to introduce new faces to the show and improve it’s storyline. Viewers almost had a heart attack when MaMlambo announced that she was going home for a while. Viewers thought she had left the show but she recently announced that she is pregnant.
Taking to her Instagram account, she penned a lengthy letter to unborn baby. “My baby, you are your grandmother’s answered prayer. She was so excited to meet you; even though you did not get to meet in the physical realm, I know she is currently holding you in the spiritual. My darling, every move and every kick of yours within me is a testament of both God and my mother’s continued love for me. You have changed me in ways that are inexplicable. We cannot wait to meet you.” Fans and colleagues have flooded her comment section with messages of congratulations.
