Thobani Nzuza, a celebrated South African actor, director, playwright, vocalist, and dancer, continues to make waves in the entertainment industry. Known for his powerful performances in popular television serials like *eHostela*, *Uzalo*, *Isitha: The Enemy*, and *Isipho*, Nzuza is now expanding his artistry with the publication of his second theatre play.
This latest venture sees him bringing to life a work he penned back in 2014 while still a university student. Taking to Instagram, Nzuza announced the exciting news, expressing his gratitude to @sphephelo_afezeka for their invaluable assistance in bringing the play to publication. He also shared a quote from Professor Ravengai, who praised the play's potential and found it "interesting."
This marks Nzuza's second foray into the literary world. In 2018, the award-winning playwright and storyteller published his debut book, *Boy Ntulikazi*. This poignant work explored the profound impact of personal challenges on an individual's worldview, following the troubled character of Ntulikazi, whose past has left him mentally unstable, exhibiting multiple personalities in a near-schizophrenic manner.
Nzuza's dedication to his craft is evident in his multifaceted approach to *Boy Ntulikazi*. He not only wrote the play but also directed and performed in it. The production garnered significant acclaim, earning Nzuza the Best Actor award at the 2015 Isigcawu Festival, Best Actor and Best Production at the 2017 Baxter Zabalaza Theatre Festival, and the Best Community Production award at the South African Theatre Magazine Awards.
With the publication of his second play, Nzuza demonstrates his ongoing commitment to exploring the complexities of human experience through both performance and literature. His unwavering passion and multifaceted talent continue to inspire and captivate audiences across South Africa and beyond.
