Skeem Saam fans comment on Mr Xulu's storyline

@Blaq_Ston said:

"Oh, he is good, masterclass, wish they could drag his storyline longer."

@lulushezi responded:

"Great actor, but he isn't carrying the show. No one is, for now. All storylines are dull."

@tshegofatsomoon wrote:

"His character was intriguing at first, but lately, he's all over the place."

@dima_onzima reacted:

"He is excellent! But right now, I don't think the writers know what to do with his character. Going to the school competition would have opened many ways for them to branch out this character, but now, we wait and see."

@Mano_TeeKay said:

"Carrying the show? I'm afraid the bar is six feet under!"

@MologadiKekans replied:

"Carrying Skeem Saam, you mean? Aowa, not even!"

"His character was interesting at first, but now lost the plot. It's all over the place, and I can't wait for it to be over. Can the wardrobe give him the right size of pants?"

"Great actor, but his character and storyline are unnecessary."

@L3rato_Mofokeng reacted:

"He masters his art so well. This new role as Nr Xulu has really made him stand out, a character worth keeping for long. He brings the suspense and keeps us wanting more."

@itsKhutsoR94 wrote:

"I feel like the storyline is dragging now. He should be exposed and maybe write something for him to come back because he is a phenomenal actor."

@TheRealTiisetso said:

"I am enjoying his character, but not sure about carrying the show."

@Sanelisiwe_asi replied:

"At the moment, his story seems to have no direction, and it seems his luck is running out. When it does, then what?! On the run again or back to prison?"

@ManabileMa43115 responded:

"I love him. I wish the writers did more for this character. They are failing us while watching."
