The cast of South Africa's most popular TV soapie, Uzalo was on a roadshow this past week. 

This saw favourites such as Dawn Thandeka King, Nay Maps, Baby Cele, Khaya Dladla, and Masoja Msiza travel across Johannesburg for a week full of PR.

Amongst the crew was Nokuthula Mabika, who plays Thobile as the good girl in the series. What started off as a fun interview ended in flames when Mabika and other crew members posed for a picture, only to have her weave catch on fire. 

When the Durban-based actress realised her hair was on fire, she did something which cannot be ignored.

She posted a video of the incident on her Instagram captioned: "So this is what happened during my interview 😂😂😂😂 candles must fall 😩😂😂😂." The video has been viewed over 44,000 times. 

Watch below:

Well, it's safe to say that this interview was one for the record books. We're glad that it didn't end too badly for Nokuthula.
