We are slowly entering winter and we are swiftly changing from fab summer fashion to make space for the trendiest winter duds. So when the invite came to have sundowners at the pool deck of Crowne Plaza with the Uzalo cast, I couldn’t give it a miss.

Unfortunately, they opted for the more snazzy club at the four-star hotel. Thursday night was all about the stars letting their hair down and unwinding. They have been in the city for a week celebrating their uncontested spot as the number one most viewed soapie in the country.

The telenovela, shot in Kwazulu-Natal, scored a golden horn for most popular TV soapie at the South African Television and Film Awards recently.

The stars were involved in a master-class session with young aspiring actors on Friday morning, at which they shared their industry knowledge and skills with the curious minds.

They also visited Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital in Parktown to pay tribute to health professionals as they commemorated international nurses' day yesterday morning.

The stars who spent the week in Joburg are Khaya Dladla who plays GC, Gugu Gumede as Ma Mlambo, Naymaps who plays Mxolisi, Nokuthula Mabika as Thobile, Siyabonga Shibe plays Qabanga, Dawn T King as Lindiwe, and Masoja Msiza as Nkunzi.

Msiza’s humour and charm can get him out of any trouble, and he was adept at working the room, chatting to everyone and complimenting people.

He is the exact opposite of his character on the soapie and on the night he wore a military green jumpsuit, while Dladla was his usual flamboyant self, wearing a black top with bright yellow stockings.
