Fans of actress Siphelele "Ceecee" Ndaba who plays the role of Mazet on Gomora are seeing her for the last time this month. This is after the show's powers-that-be did not renew the 26-year-old's contract.  

THE DRAMA BEHIND THE SCENES

Highly placed ZiMoja sources say the producers decided not to renew her contract because her character "lacked excitement."

"Don't take me wrong, she is a brilliant actress, but she lacked something for the show,' said one of the sources. Another source close to the scriptwriters says she lacked enthusiasm and no longer had the energy she came in with at the start of the show. "When she joined the show, she won the hearts of the viewers with her enthralling performances as Mazet, but she no longer has that thing." At first, they thought changing her wardrobe would add a different element but nothing changed. "They put her in a relationship but there wa sno range of emotions, and this was the last option."

WHERE TO FROM HERE?

An insider says there is a lot on the pipeline for this young and dynamic Soweto-born actress who has worked behind the scenes and in theatre before. "Before landing the role as Mazet on Gomora Ceecee was cast in a lot of theatre productions. She will go back to theatre," the source continued. Ceecee has in the past featured in stage shows such as, I Am An Emotional Creature by Eve Ensler- directed by Coba Wilsenach, Race by David Mamet and directed by Tisetso Mashifane, The Witches by Roald Dahl - directed by Coba Wilsenach as well as Vuk' ucave directed by Andrew Buckland.
