Last week, it was reported that Mncube, who was on Shaka iLembe and plays Mandoza in the musician’s biopic, allegedly handed in his resignation.
It is unclear why the actor decided to part ways with the show after being with them since 2018. The actor is also on the cast of My Brother's Keeper, a soapie set to replace Gomora next month.

Also leaving at the end of the ninth season is Nkanyiso Mchunu, who joined Uzalo in January.
Mchunu portrays the character of Wizard, who is Sbonelo’s friend. He is a technology whiz who scams people in partnership with Sbonelo through card cloning and money laundering.
Uzalo’s series producer David Mukwevho said it was incredible working with Mncube and Mchunu. He added that the two had amazing chemistry on screen.
Mukwevho said they were thankful for Mncube and Mchunu’s contributions to Uzalo’s success, even though saying goodbye was not easy.
Without revealing too much, the producer said the pair’s exit will be epic.
