@Zie81640780: “Thank goodness! Nothing against Baby Cele kodwa I can’t imagine her as Zobisto. Mam’Deli is killing that part.”
@Miz_Ruraltarain: “We can’t accept any other Ma Mzobe if not her….I was bored with that announcement of Uzalo Gabisile replacing her.”
@Iebzzzza: “Re-casts flop because people are used to the original performer. Good for Umkhokha they won’t make the mistake of Imbewu. That show died a painful death after the many recasts of principal casts. To hell with “characters are not dependent on actors” thing.”
@kenonam1: “Mam Deli is stuck with us shem whether we are pro or against goqa nation she must just sit down and give us iZobelicious.”
