Gomora is a Mzansi Magic soapie that ended its third season tonight with a bang indeed. Amongst the violence that new villain Phumlani has brought onto the show, was the love triangle that had people yawning and rolling their eyes.
It seems the Melusi-Gladys-Onthatile triangle will no longer involve Gladys at least.
Gladys decided that she doesn’t want to be with longtime two-timing husband, Melusi Dlamini. It was a victory for my viewers, they had long wanted her to choose herself and she finally did. But this doesn’t mean that Melusi’s reaction was warranted or fair.
He decided that this was a sign he needed to be with a married, Onthatile. It was bizarre to watch him act as though it was nothing at all and cheerfully hand over the divorce papers. It was just disrespect. It is also a tired storyline and people are bored of it.

A final user wrote, “#GomoraMzansi That smirk on Melusi’s face rubs me up the wrong way. He’s too happy for someone who caused Gladys so much pain.”
I think that Melusi’s hubris will be his downfall in the upcoming season. He seems so sure of how things will pan out and I’ll be glad to see him e slightly disappointed (at the very least) His nonchalance about his marriage ending proves just how far gone he truly is.
