"They carried the last scene in episode 12 with such brilliance. The emotions and intensity were on point. I’ll still say that Nhlanhla Kunene and Samkelo Ndlovu’s performances were the highlight of the final season for me. #AdultingShowmax. What a plot twist!", he wrote.

Fans of the series took to social media to bid farewell to the much-loved character.

"Tsiki Tsiki was stabbed inside the house but fell outside the yard? Why not in his grandmother bedroom. It doesn't make sense at all."

@IWantSmoke365 replied:

"Writers have a thing of creating horrific endings to mess with people’s emotions. Reminds me of GOT. Anybody could’ve died, just not Tsiki Tsiki cause he has the most interesting story amongst em all. Prison or lower body paralysis from a gun shot would’ve made sense."

@Ronewa_Mathephe said:

"They killed Tsiki Tsiki? Why couldn't it be Vuyani."

@Mabasa_Mavuyisi replied:

"Is he dead-dead, though? Share some spoilers, Tsiki Tsiki can't go like that."

In more entertainment news, Briefly News recently reported Smoke and Mirrors and Generations: The Legacy star Zazi Kunene denied reports that she's related to Vusi and Nhlanhla Kunene.

The rising star revealed in an interview that she's not related to legendary actor Vusi Kunene, who she acted with in Generations: The Legacy and Shaka iLembe.

“I still can’t believe how big this ‘relation thing’ has blown up. I also can’t believe that people can make up something and believe it. I was so nervous when I joined Generations, thinking that people are going to believe it even more now that I’m on the show,” said the actress.
