Actor and musician Mxolisi Mgingqeni Majozi has allegedly been fired from the set of the popular telenovela Durban Gen. According to reports, Majozi- also known as Zulu Boy- was constantly missing work and treated the crew with little respect. Actor Zakhele Mabasa is reportedly being brought in to replace Majozi’s character McGyver as his cousin. Mxolisi Mgingqeni Majozi joined the show back in 2020 as the character McGyver and soon became popular with viewers.
Earlier, sources revealed that etv has confirmed that it has canned Durban Gen. The medical drama set in Durban only started airing on the channel in October 2020. The telenovela’s last episode will air in January 2023. The sad news was shared on social media by entertainment commentator Phil Mphela. Mphela took to Twitter and posted a statement from etv which confirmed that it’s the end of the road for the drama series.
Apparently, the actor denied the fact that he was fired but instead he claimed that he dumped Durban Gen to focus on his music. He said his music and other business he have kept him busy. He said Sbu asked him to produce and sing the song, which is Afro Soul. He also revealed that he has been hired by Royal AM, where he works with Shawn MaMkhize Mkhize. Zuluboy said his busy schedule made him arrive late to work at some point. He said he will always be grateful for the opportunity to be on Durban Gen.
