‘HE WAS ANNOYING’ – TWEEPS WEIGH IN

 

 

 

Season 9 of the fan-favourite soapie will premiere on 21 November where a much hotter storyline seems to be the order of the day.

Tweeps have however expressed that Lelethu’s storyline got to their nerves as he was always in everyone’s business.

“It’s fine. He can move on. That show must evolve too, in terms of storylines and stuff,” said @TshepisoMoloi10.

“Yeah no he was annoying me,” said @MatshidisoBella.

“He is a brilliant actor. Every character he plays, he wears it to perfection. Redemption is nice show,” said @___Seretse.

Although Yonda has not confirmed his departure from the soapie, viewers are looking forward to seeing more of his character on Redemption.
