In a statement sent to Daily Sun, Shirley Adonisi, director of local entertainment channels at M-Net, thanked Zolisa for his outstanding work and shared that they are looking forward to working with him in the near future.
“Mzansi Magic would like to extend its sincere gratitude to Zolisa for his contribution to the success of Gomora season 1 and 2 by bringing the Melusi character to life. We are also in awe of Buyile Mdladla’s sterling performance as Phumlani in season 2. We look forward to working with both in the future,” reads the statement.
“Telenovelas are designed to carry different key story arcs and these evolve seasonally. It therefore goes without saying that characters come and go. Gomora season 2 was based on a love triangle built around Melusi, Thati and Gladys characters. It culminated with Melusi losing Thati to another man and divorcing Gladys. In season 3, the major story plot is centred on Sonto’s devastation as she is forced to watch Thati become the worst version of herself. The new season promises to be riveting.”
