Mncube also shared that he will be trying his best to execute the role to make viewers happy and asked that they show the same love and support they showed him to others.
“Ngyabonga kakhulu uThando engilitholayo, akwandele bani ... ngizokwenza ngakho konke ukuthi nginganijabhisi,” he wrote.
In English, this translates to: “I'm very grateful for the love I received, no matter who it is ... I will do everything not to embarrass you.”
Producers had asked viewers to trust them when it comes to Khoza’s replacement and so far there have not been many complaints about the replacement.
