Tlali, who just got written out of the Mzansi Magic telenovela has blocked Mphela on Twitter after he stated that Tlali was unsuitable for the character.
Khumo and Olerato are proof that beautiful people can be boring as hell
Yerrr they have no chemistry. Their relationship is just a yawn-fest nje.
Feel sorry for the actors because people may interpret this as bad acting when it's just bad casting. #TheQueenMzansi pic.twitter.com/7mF4yL1JJq

PHIL MPHELA: THE QUEEN'S MOLEMO WAS A MISCAST' Newcomer, Molemo Tlali, who got his big break on the Mzansi Magic telenovela hasn't impressed viewers of the show since he debuted this season.
Fans of the show have criticised his acting skills and have often stated that he's not suitable for the role.

Viewers were not surprised when entertainment commentator, Phil Mphela, revealed that Tlali has been written out of the show last week (2 December).
Mphela who often comments on actors' roles on his social media pages previously stated that Tlali was a miscast for the role.
He also commented on his on-screen romance with Lorraine Moropa's character, Olerato, and stated that the pair have no chemistry:

Khumo and Olerato are proof that beautiful people can be boring as hell Yerrr.
They have no chemistry. Their relationship is just a yawn-fest nje.
Feel sorry for the actors because people may interpret this as bad acting when it's just bad casting.
Mphela also advised the young actor to grow a thick skin because he's still new in the industry and that viewers have every right to comment on actors' roles.
He said that real actors know that some of the roles may not workout and don't take it personally when they are critiqued by professionals and real fans.
An actor who only wants praise never has a long career because even Meryl Streep has had bad reviews.
It's unfortunate newbies don't get it.
Oh well
It is unfortunate that Molemo listened to people like you. If he wants to be an actor without critique, he will have a tough time.
My not liking Khumo & Olerato relationship was not personal attack on the actors.
Molemo was miscast as Khumo. That's just honest. pic.twitter.com/P6KQA27N0a

COMMENTS FROM THE QUEEN' VIEWERS Never thought I would witness so much hate from people for you my boy @Molemo_Tlali.
But it shows you stepped on their toes, no matter what happens I am still proud.
Another viewer agreed with Mphela and said Tlali misunderstood him as he criticises characters and not actors.
People read how they want to see things in their own heads neh Kgopolo?

Arh bro it not hate mos this role is just not for him, don t be a friend who comfort others with lies, tell them to understand that not all roles will fit them nicely so that we applaud their talent. He has potential, great potential at that, but not all roles work for everyone

This Khumo is just another Mpho Sebata, he is so cold with no emotions #TheQueenMzansi

Don't watch coz you'll be disappointed. Rather search for his socials, maybe he's got energy in his personal space

Shame, but we re not surprised. He should up his acting game for his next role if he gets one. He really missed an opportunity to make waves here
