Linda Mtoba Scores New Acting Gig On A Mzansi Magic Drama

Linda Mtoba Scores New Acting Gig On A Mzansi Magic Drama. The award-winning actress, former ‘Isibaya’ and ‘The River’ actress has bagged a new role as Nokwanda in season two of the Chris Radebe written drama series titled ISifiso.

Less than a month after joining Gagasi FM as a cohost of ‘Siy’pholele’, the official Mzansi Magic Facebook’s page, announced the news of her casting on ISifiso saying, “Her name is Nokwanda and her mission is to simply come in and rock Bazothini’s world! #Isifiso S2 is fast approaching and you cannot miss it. Catch the premiere on Monday, 10 April at 20:00 on #MzansiMagic.”

Per Mzansi Magic’s sequence of events on Isifiso, new character Nokwanda (played by Linda Mtoba) will rock Bazothini’s world, alongside other new star-studded cast members such as Ntandazo Mndayi (Gomora) and Thandeka Qwabe (Isibaya).

Fans of the show will remember that Julia (Zinhle Mabena) told Siboniso (Melusi Yeni) that it was Bazothini who killed his wife. But Nobuhle (Mbalenhle Mthembu) and Bazothini turned the tables on Julia, leaving Siboniso to think Julia was the murderer.

Shirley Adonisi, Director of Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net said: “We are proud to be bringing back Isifiso for a second season, which is evidence of the quality of storytelling that our viewers have come to expect from Mzansi Magic. We can’t wait to see what unfolds this season and how viewers will react to the captivating plot twists and character journeys.”

Her impeccable acting skills have been complimented on Showmax’s The River for her portrayal of Nomonde Dikana and also on Isibaya where she portrayed the character of Zama Ngwenya. She has been cast alongside Ntandazo Mndayi and Thandeka Qwabe.
