“Zolisa Xaluva fired from #etvSmokeAndMirrors. The prolific award-winning actor has been let go from the hit e.tv telenovela — which is the 7th most watched show in South Africa. The role of ruthless businessman, Caesar, will likely be recast,” said Mphela.

It is unclear why the fan-favourite actor has been fired from the show at this time. The South African reached out to Mr Xaluva who was not available for a comment at the time of publishing this article.

 

@iamdjmfundisi: “I’m reminded of the JZ era where his cabinet was always reshuffled at midnight.”

@indlovukazi_3: “This guy always gets fired from every show he is in. The unfortunate part is he kills every role, and he is very talented.”

@NmabokelaNonoza: “They are wrong. Xolisa is well behaved, I don’t care what he did. But the guy is a legend and doesn’t have bad manners. So, in this case etvsmokers are wrong.”

@thoriiso_m: “Yes. The production team is the one that is wrong, Zolisa could never.”
