@Vuyiswa_Msweli commented:

"I hate it so much. Why did they do that to Shobane yesterday was worse."

@MbamboPhiloh replied:

"It is stressing me out ayboooooo that hair cut kanti yini ngempela," (What's going on with the haircut).

"Omg yes! I like him bald."

@Mahlasedy said:

"We were watching Homecoming because of him. Now, on this show, people are watching because of Sdumo and Sindi; he will never be the center of this show."

@thisiz_sibzzz replied:

"He is a background actor, it's so sad."

@jabs_unfiltered wrote:

"He needs to go back and be resurrected Days of our Lives style …kuyabhedza lapha (it's not going well) and where he went ayi khona akuhambi kahle."

@thisiz_sibzzz reacted:

"Makabuye sana, (he must come back). Terrible things are happening there ."

@siyasinivasan commented:

"Sana, he barely has lines on these episodes. I think this is one of those bad decisions you make in a while in your career."

"Like if it was about him leaving the show, they could’ve gotten another actor to replace him. For example, Kwenzo Ngcobo or any other actor. To kill off Sfiso really ruined the show. Zethu and Shobane have zero chemistry, plus all the other storylines are just not it."

@thisiz_sibzzz said:

"They missed Sana, the show is terrible right now. He was the plot."

@thato_matlaila_ responded:

"I thought it was just me."

@mohlala_miriam responded:

"It’s so irritating to the eye hle."

@teetubeni said:

"He's giving Tyler Perry."

@ngo_majola replied:

"Yho! Cela bam’gunde imbhunculu once."
