People had a lot to say about Thuli’s dismissal:
“Lerato wasn’t even that prominent in the books. It was very evident from the wedding though that she’d gone MIA. I’m just sad that someone else missed out on the opportunity to play Lerato because Thuli landed the role” – @Kingsisiwe
“I blame that DJ” – @Nesbert_Kamo
“Her role was honestly redundant” – @Ngcebs1
“Her acting makes me awkward while seating on my own couch, watching my own tv. She must go” – @MStoto

BUT
To claim Thuli can’t act … hai, ema pele.
