There is no doubt that replacing an actor who seamlessly played their character requires a lot of hard work and perseverance. It must have been difficult for actor Wiseman Mncube to imagine how fans would react to his portrayal of Mqhele in The Wife.
The actor took over for Bonko Khoza, who portrayed Mqhele for two seasons, and fans showered him with roses for faithfully portraying the character.
The Wife’s last season premiered on Thursday, and it is set to be one of the books. Wiseman expressed his gratitude to the show’s viewers on his Facebook page.
He said he is grateful and feeling blessed. “I come a long way and has always worked hard on my craft with discipline professionalism and dedication. Always had and still have a dream to make it. Right now I think I’m on the right path…it’s the gift I was gifted me with which I love and respect. And nayo its keeps showing me the same love and respect. Thank you to everyone who keep on pushing inspiring motivating and cheering me to never give up who constantly remind me how great I am. I will never stop. I always said since varsity that if art were to be taken away from me I would die. Alutha continua
While some have compared his character to Bonko, others have assured him that he is doing well.
CONGRATS to Wiseman Mncube who although got a role already established by another actor, made it his own!🔥

I genuinely love @wiseman_mncube as Mqhele, Bonko did a great job in past seasons but I think people need to give Wiseman a chance. He's a great actor #TheWifeShowmax

I just want Wiseman to know he’s doing great. Yes, Bonko is Bonko, but Wiseman is Wiseman. A slightly different take on a character we know. Otherwise man the execution of Mqhele’s angry, phuma silwe personality are there. Kanti nifunani? Bonko akabuyi bo love. #TheWifeShowmax
