A high source in the telenovela production alleged that Luthuli was let go because they didn't know what to do with her character, and another said that this was just an excuse to get rid of her.

The source said:

"How come creatives who get paid to create characters do not know what to do with someone's character? That was just an excuse to get rid of her. Those of us who don't excel at playing the politics were cast aside. Sadly, that's the harsh truth of the South African TV industry. If you focus on your own path and stand up for what you rightfully deserve, you're quickly branded a diva."
