SK Khoza's days on The Queen have officially come to an end. Khoza was axed from the show as the producers did not want to associate themselves with someone who has ongoing abuse charges. Ferguson Films have shared their parting words with the actor, bringing an end to the character of Shaka.
Sunday World reported that the decision to fire SK Khoza came as a direct instruction from Multichoice. The company dismissed Khoza on account of his domestic abuse allegations from his ex-fiancée Ayanda Hlongwane.
Entertainment blogger Phil Mphela reported that the writers and producers of the show were working around the clock to adjust the script to allow for Shaka's exit and still make sense. He tweeted:
"Writers & producers are scrambling to write Shaka Khoza out of the storyline because the actor was fired so abruptly once the channel got informed of the allegations."

SK Khoza has been fired from The Queen with immediate effect over wife Ayanda Hlongwane's abuse allegations
Briefly News reported that it had been announced that Mzansi Magic's The Queen will be one cast member lighter. SK Khoza has been cut from the show due to some unsavoury behaviour off-screen. Apparently, he has been charged with assault by his wife and the show won't stand to be associated with abuse allegations.
News24 reported that SK's fiancée Ayanda Hlongwane filed a police report accusing the actor of being a wife-beater. This came after Khoza admitted to being verbally abusive and taking out his frustrations on Ayanda.
The producers of The Queen are known to have a no-nonsense policy with their stars and SK was no exception. ZAlebs reports that the actor was arrested on a count of domestic violence and the couple has since erased each other from their respective social media accounts.
