Zulu Boy joined the show in 2020 and he portrays the character of McGyver. The actor became a fan-favourite instantly and it came as a shock to many that he has been fired.
According to popular Twitter blogger Musa Khawula, Majozi has been shown the door due to being difficult to work. Apparently his diva tendencies and absenteeism led to him being fired. "Durban Gen dumps Zuluboy. It is said Zuluboy was difficult to work with as he was forever missing work and rude to the crew," he reported.
Former Isibaya Actor Zakhele Mabasa, has reportedly joined the show as MacGyver's cousin. Zakhele is one of Mzansi's most gifted and hilarious actors. He captured the hearts of many people when he played Skhaleni on Isibiya.
After the show got canned, he disappeared from the spotlight and it is good to hear that he will soon be returning.
