Viewers of Mzansi Magic's telenovela Gomora have had enough of Israel Zulu's character, Don.
--
Fans are so annoyed with Don that they've resorted to watching other shows at 19:30 than the Mzansi Magic show.
They have revealed that they don't find Don funny, charming or interesting.
#GomoraMzansi on Twitter have also stated that this is probably the worst villainous character Zulu has played in his career.
--
Their new writer is Chris Q, the one who used to write for Isibaya.

Another tweep revealed that the reason his character is becoming uninteresting is because of the show's latest writer, Chris Q. Radebe.
Radebe was the head writer for SABC 1's soapie Uzalo and Mzansi Magic's cancelled telenovela, Isibaya.
The show is also overplaying Zulu's role by rubbing him in viewers faces.
He's living in MamSonto's house, he's at Gomora High school, he's at MamSonto's workshop, he's at Zodwa's house, he's at Melusi's house, he's at Bongani's restaurant.
There's no time to miss the character and develeop other characters because the show revolves around him.
can someone who studied law please explain to me the kind of contract don forged, cause I honestly don t understand how someone can get away with staying in someone else s house and eating their food for free, #GomoraMzanzi

WHAT HAPPENED TO MAMSONTO? Actress Connie Chiume who plays the role of MamSonto on the show is currently in the United Stated shooting Black Panther 2.
--
Her character has been placed in a coma and was moved to Cape Town after Don threatened to kill her.
Don was responsible for her shooting even though he never pulled the trigger.
Chiume has taken a break from the show and will only wake up from her coma once she's done filming the Marvel movie
Viewers are also feeling like Don has replaced MamSonto, as he's also sleeping in her bed and living with her children.
