However, despite the comments in terms of the decline in the telenovela’s storylines. It seems that the telenovela remains a numbers puller for the channel and DStv as a whole. This comes after DStv shared the list of its top 30 most-watched shows, and Gomora happened to top the list with an average of 667 334 viewers per episode in the month of February 2023.
Despite this fact, it seems that the telenovela cannot stop bleeding its fan-favourite characters. This comes after the recent announcement that yet another lead and original character is set to make their exit from the story.
Gomora’s Ntokozo set to make an exit
When Gomora first premiered back in 2020, one of the newest and young talents that the telenovela introduced was none other than Ntobeko Sishi who played the title character of Ntokozo. Since then the character has grown from a rebellious character to a fully-fledged young adult who cannot stop making immature decisions.
However, the character has grown on fans and has become one of the most popular characters from the telenovela. But it seems that viewers might need to bid farewell to the character. This comes after entertainment commentator Phil Mphela reported that Sishi is set to exit the show in the near future.
This comes as there has been speculation that Gomora might be heading towards being cancelled by the channel. Allegedly, the writers of the show are currently working towards completing the current season, and there has not been word on whether there will be a fourth season given just how many of its lead characters have left the telenovela.
Sishi has neither confirmed nor denied his imminent exit from the telenovela. A fact which is not surprising considering that viewers are still waiting to bid farewell to Siphesihle as Mazet.
However, his exit would not come as a surprise. This is as despite being a lauded actor, Sishi has been vocal about being a musician first. As such, it can be assumed that the decision to exit the show might have to do with his need to focus on growing his brand as a musician.
Currently, the actor and singer is promoting his current single I Can’t Dance. A funk, up-tempo track which Sishi made due to the fact that he cannot dance. However, it seems that the fact that he cannot dance does not mean that he cannot create dance music which can be played at clubs and have people that can dance bust a move.
