Nelisa Mchunu called a murderer after killing her sister over rich husband on Isisifiso

It has been a month since Nelisa Mchunu played a villain on TV but people are still calling her a murderer in the street.

Nelisa played Bazothini who kills her sister so she can marry her rich husband on Mzansi Magic’s Isisifiso.

The 30-year-old told the publication people were coming up to her every day.

“This is what people have always done to me. Back when I was on Uzalo, people thought I was my character in real life,” she said.

“Funny enough, it isn’t that bad because although people call me a murderer, they actually loved Bazo. It’s crazy as people aren’t supposed to like a character like that. So, it’s not always a bad encounter with fans.”

“I won’t lie, she was an intense character. She went through so many different emotions throughout the season. It was fun and challenging. It was so much fun playing a killer.”

Nelisa rose to fame playing Fikile on Uzalo for five years. She said the character she played on the SABC1 soapie was different to Bazo.

“The way I acted was pretty much the same but obviously, I had to channel different things because the characters are different.

“That was the only change, channelling different energies,” she said.

“Otherwise, I used the same mantra and the same way of getting into character. I needed a lot of emotions to play Bazo, so I had to dig deep.”

Fikile said she had a new movie coming out soon.

“I just wrapped up shooting a film and it’s probably going to come out next year,” she said.

Uzalo’s Fikile (Nelisa Mchunu) begs to stay on show after losing job

The character of Fikile on Uzalo was allegedly written off with those of Mpambani (Jet Novuka) and MaNgcobo (Dawn Thandeka King), after producers couldn’t continue with her storyline.

But apparently Nelisa Mchunu, who plays Fikile on the SABC1 show, begged to be saved.

Sources said when Nelisa was informed of the decision of her character being killed off, she apparently begged producers to find a way to turn things around.

They said the producers tried hard to be creative in expanding Fikile’s storyline

“Nelisa loved playing Fikile. So she was heartbroken when she was told her character was going to end. She begged them not to do it. They tried but failed,” said an insider.

Fikile was last seen on the show on Tuesday when her parents visited her in KwaMashu. They found out she had lied to them about living a lavish lifestyle. They then went back home with her, leaving Sbu (Simphiwe Majozi) nursing a broken heart.

A second source said when Uzalo announced those that were exiting, they didn’t mention Nelisa because they were still trying to find a way to save her.

Nelisa refused to comment but on Uzalo’s Instagram page, she thanked her fans for being Fikile’s cheerleaders.

The show’s spokeswoman, Nomfundo Zondi, confirmed Nelisa’s departure.

“We didn’t announce her exit because her thing was on and off. Producers and writers were trying to see if they could continue with Fikile. They were not sure whether her storyline was continuing or not. That is why her exit was not announced,” said Nomfundo.

She said Fikile was not killed, which gives hope she might be coming back one day.

“Just like GC (Khaya Dladla) and Thobile (Nokuthula Mabika), viewers might see her one day,” said Nomfundo.

If it looks like they are following a script then it’s not good acting. Fikile and Sbu have an irrefutable chemistry on the show. No wonder fans think they are in actual fact an off-set couple. Their bond has endured fire and brimstone but they always have unquestionable loyalty. Maybe fans just want this spark to continue even in the duo’s real lives. Unfortunately, the two are just friends and if they have convinced anyone otherwise, it just shows they are good at their craft.

Nelisa Mchunu speaks on rape.

Subsequent to her character escapes rape by a hair’s breadth, the actress urges fans not to be afraid to report rapists. An episode in April 2020, sees one of Sbu’s low-life friends persisting that Fikile “wants him”. He coerces her to have sex with him. Providentially, Sbu runs into the house right on time and saves Fikile. “Unfortunately in real life we don’t have oSbu no Nkunzi to bury rapists alive. So please, please don’t ever be afraid to report a rape case. Rapists don’t deserve to be out in the streets terrorising women,” Nelisa says.
What is Nelisa Mchunu’s Net worth?

The upcoming actress makes a whopping R25 000 to R30 000 from Uzalo. Even if her net worth is still under review, sis is making money moves.

Nelisa Mchunu lands herself in hot soup after shading SA women

Uzalo actress Nelisa Mchunu, who plays Fikile, has found herself in hot water on social media after her tweet dissing broke women, ruffled many feathers. Her post was deemed insensitive looking at the alarming statistics when it comes to unemployment in the country.

Nelisa advised women to step it up a little as men are tired of dating broke, poor, lazy, demanding and uneducated women. Her choice of words really struck a chord with Tweeps who told her to step down from her high horse.

“I don’t know who needs to see this but Men are also tired of dating broke, demanding, uneducated, poor and lazy women. Step up sis!!” she wrote.

She has since deleted her tweet but people came for her guns blazing. Many reminded the actress to check herself as the world can be a tricky place and she too can lose it all. They told Nelisa that there are educated, qualified, non-demanding women who are working hard at securing opportunities but they are scarce.

Karabo Mkaofane wrote: “Don’t call people broke just because someone gave you an opportunity to be where you are today, people are not lazy opportunities are scarce out there. Are you rich Nelisa ?”

Sizwe Mzobe also shared the same sentiments and warned Nelisa by saying, “Oh yes right no one will understand the situation till u in the same as them u called broke.”

Sabelo Thabethe said: “My sister has a degree in public relations. She graduated in 2017. But until today she is still looking for a job. So be careful when you pick such words. They can turn on you tomorrow.”

Quiet a few celebrities have openly spoke about how they wish to not date people who are broke. Influencer Thickleeyonce revealed that she has always had money and that she started working at a young age and the downside of that was the fact that men her age which she was dating were often not working and she found herself supporting them financially.

Recently Khanyi Mbau flat out said she does not want to date broke men too. Khanyi Mbau called upon the men to submit their appeals to go out on a date. The reality star, who is newly single, sent out a tweet on Monday, 2 November 2020, which asked for handsome AND rich men to submit their applications for her consideration.

She tweeted, “I feel like going on date a very handsome rich man 2moro night, Serious people only. Ps. I said handsome and rich. Tag me.”

Perhaps such comments from prominent people can be triggering for many people, especially during these tough COVID-19 times.
