The supporting actors are there to add more depth and to flesh out the main actor’s storylines. They may be in the middle of some storylines, but not necessarily the driving force behind the plot. They are the second-highest-paid.

So let’s check out the salaries of the lowest-paid supporting actors.

According to reports, the lowest-paid actress was  Nomcebo who played the role of Khehla’s mother.

She was reportedly paid R15k to R20k per month, she was followed by Nyawo, Madlala, and Mbatha whose salaries range from R15k to R25k per month.

It seems like Uzalo does pay their actors well, if the lowest-paid cast members are bagging such a decent amount, then the main actors must be getting quite a lot, all things considered.
