Good shows are being canned in droves over there at Mzansi Magic, only to be replaced by underwhelming ones such as Gqeberha: The Empire.
The production was kind enough to let the media spend a day with the cast and crew last week, to see how they create their magic.We spent a large part of the afternoon watching Sannah Mchunu , Sicelo Buthelezi and Thulani Mtsweni playing the most beloved family on Gomora.Before that, though, Robot Boii and a dance group called Versatile Blenders brought in a little fun and led everyone in a TikTok dance challenge – but we all seemed to have brought our two left feet with us.
“Leaving was not my decision. The show is wrapping up; the broadcaster decided to wrap up the show. We don’t know why; Gomora has been number one on the charts, it has been number one since the beginning. My character and other characters will be cut before the show ends, that is how they wrote the script,” she said.
“My character wasn’t supposed to be there for a long time, she was meant to make people understand that Teddy lived with Gladys [played by Thembi Seete] because his mother was an irresponsible drunkard.Because I wanted to make an impact and stay longer, I went to Alex to check how ‘Zodwas’ live on a daily basis so that I could add my own spice to the script, and that’s where I got Zodwa’s broken English.
