Tony Kgoroge has returned to ‘Imbewu’

INDUSTRY giant Tony Kgoroge is set to return to e.tv’s daily drama, Imbewu.

Kgoroge’s character, Zimele “Ngcolosi” Bhengu, will be brought back from the “dead” in a storyline that sees him return with a vengeance.

The memorable character was last seen on the show on his deathbed and at what was believed to be his burial.

In a press statement, e.tv says it will flash back two years ago to confirm that Ngcolosi “never really died”.

“The man, the myth, the legend is on his way and he’s coming for everything … Now, it will be confirmed that Ngcolosi never actually died. And while he was gathering his strength, Khemisi (Thabiso Lekoba) was his safeguard the entire time,” it read.

Ngcolosi returns to the small screen on Friday, December 2, and will come face to face with his entire family on Wednesday, December 7.

Kgoroge initially took over this role from actor Mpumelelo Bhulose in 2018. Bhulose was fired from the show in July 2018 for absenteeism and late-coming.

At the time of entering the show, Kgoroge said it was risky to take over from a role that had already been established, but he looked at it as a continuation and not a takeover. The industry veteran soon became a favourite.

Kgoroge is well known for his roles in the Netflix series, “The Brave Ones”, "Gaz'lam" and "Zero Tolerance”. He’s also acted in numerous feature films, including “Invictus” and “The First Grader”.

Catch Tony Kgoroge as Zimele “Ngcolosi” Bhengu on “Imbewu” on weekdays at 9pm on e.tv.
