It’s been a year since actress and TV presenter Dineo Langa got fired from The Queen.

Langa who played the role of Keabetswe Khoza surprised her followers on Instagram in April 2020 when she stated that Ferguson Films fired her from the show.

She revealed that the production company will kill her character when a fan asked her when she’s coming back.

It was reported that the actress, was allegedly sent a letter by Ferguson Films informing her that she should not bother to report for duty after the lockdown. 

Langa’s character had been with the show for four years (since season one) and was killed in July 2020.

DINEO LANGA’S REPLACEMENT

It now appears as though the production company has replaced Langa’s character with former Lithapo actress Lorraine Moropa.

  • The actress joined the show a month ago and plays the role of Olerato. 
  • Moropa’s character is similar to Langa’s character, talks the same language and has similar features to Kea Khoza. 
  • She is Harriet Khoza’s (Connie Ferguson) niece on the show and already has the Khoza matriarch wrapped around her finger. 
  • Harriet thinks of her as her second daughter on the show and even stated last night that she doesn’t want to lose her like Kea. 
  • She is just as protective of Kea as she is of Olerato and would do anything to keep her alive. 

Dineo Langa currently plays the role of Mmakoena on The Estate.
