The real reason why actor Abdul Khoza left The Wife

Actor Abdul Khoza has penned a heartfelt message to his followers. In a carefully worded Facebook post, he revealed that leaving The Wife, where he played Nqoba Zulu, wasn’t his choice.

He asked fans to please understand that he cannot change or influence any show to keep any of his characters.

He then apologized to those who were hurt by his exit.

His post reads: “I’d like to thank everyone who supported my craft. I also want to extend my gratitude to everyone who showed me love while I was acting on The Wife.”

“I will always love you. In the same breath, I’d like to apologize to everyone who was hurt by my exit. Unfortunately, no character writes his or her own story. So please, understand that I cannot change or influence any show to keep any of my characters once they have written the story,” he said.

“I am just an actor right now, hope we see each other on our next journey. I will forever be honoured and humbled by the love of our viewers and we appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you beautiful Mzansi,” he wrote.

His message and apology was welcomed by his followers and he wished him well.
