“Sibiya is no stranger to the television circle, having played on numerous other local productions. Sibiya will officially join the e.tv family as Nkululeko Bhengu on the channel’s late prime-time drama Imbewu,” read part of a statement issued by e.tv.
He is set to make his debut today, Wednesday, 16 February, at 9:30 pm. He will star alongside an array of other well-known faces.
“Already a viewer favourite, the character of Nkululeko is currently investigating the murder case regarding his mother’s death, and he is on the brink of finding out the shocking news,” added e.tv.

Sibiya recently ended the role as Sandile from The Wife. There he played Hlomu’s first boyfriend and long-time fiancé before Mqhele came on the scene.
Hlomu ends up turning back to Sandile when things in her abusive relationship become too much to bear and she cheats on her husband with Sandile. In so doing, she unwittingly signs his death warrant.
