HE WAS ANNOYING' TWEEPS WEIGH IN Season 9 of the fan-favourite soapie will premiere on 21 November where a much hotter storyline seems to be the order of the day.
Tweeps have however expressed that Lelethu's storyline got to their nerves as he was always in everyone's business.

It's fine. He can move on. That show must evolve too, in terms of storylines and stuff, said @TshepisoMoloi10.
Yeah no he was annoying me, said @MatshidisoBella.
He is a brilliant actor. Every character he plays, he wears it to perfection. Redemption is nice show, said @___Seretse.
Although Yonda has not confirmed his departure from the soapie, viewers are looking forward to seeing more of his character on Redemption.
SABELO BEN ON BET'S REDEMPTION Speaking to Sol Phenduka and Dineo Ranaka on Kaya FM 959 Breakfast with Dineo Ranaka and Sol Phenduka, Yonda said, I don't think people are going to like the guy that I am playing on the show.

I'm playing again and the guy I'm playing is a little bit different from all the guys I've played. He's got a little bit of street in him
Sabelo is a married man that is entertaining Faith and he is playing the two ladies like a tennis ball.
Sabelo @Yonda_Thomas plays these police officer roles so much, the hungry dedicated and honest police officer who'll do anything for justice a job well done!, said @pontshomotsepe_ on Twitter.

These were some of the tweep reactions on what Sabelo is doing:
It was so awkward for Faith when she saw Sindi at the hospital. I am curious to know if maybe Sindi has a clue that Sabelo is secretly meeting up with Faith, because why did she invite her to come join them for dinner??? #BETRedemption
Sabelo is the reason why you shouldn't marry a man if you aren't his first love bc what on earth is going on ? This will end in tears #BETRedemption

Faith and Sabelo are in love with each other and I don't think they'll end what they are doing any time soon because that eye contact means serious business #BETRedemption

I feel like Sindi is aware of something between Sabelo and Faith why is she emotionally blackmailing Faith with this much intimate information??#BETRedemption
