Pastor Melusi Mdletshe returns to Uzalo for Season 3 in February next year as Glen Gabela, TVSA has revealed! Uzalo's Melusi Mdletshe was last seen in Season 1 of the telenovena when he was played by Bheki Mkhwane who left the show under a cloud. At the time Bheki told the Daily Sun that he'd quit the series because of "unprofessional behaviour" by other cast members and grievances over his salary.
Pastor Mdletshe fled to Swaziland as a result and he's been there ever since, working through his demons and his obsession with Gxhabashe (Mpumelelo Bhulose) who is also currently off the show.
TVSA reports that he returns because he wants to make amends by rebuilding his relationship with his family and by reigniting his church. He also wants to establish a relationship with his newly found son Mxolisi (Naymaps Maphalala) and he's aware that it isn't going to be easy so he's apologetic and prepared to do what he needs to do to regain their trust.
