The outspoken Ntsiki shared that KB does not have the energy to play Lebo Mathosa.
Ntsiki’s tweets sparked a conversation, with many agreeing with her.
She said that many people can sing and dance but it took someone special to replicate Lebo.
“A lot of people can sing and dance, hey. The Lebo Mathosa role needs someone with that crazy energy.”
There were also split opinions over Bahumi's inclusion on the series, which led to Somizi standing up for his daughter.
