PHUMLANI MUST PAY' Gomora viewers have taken to Twitter to express their disappointment with Phumlani's death and exit storyline.

--

The telenovela's most ruthless villain got shot and killed on Friday (22 April) by Melusi after an altercation ensued between them.

Thati also found out that Phumlani (Buyile Mdladla) is the reason her daughter Buhle (Ama Qamata) ran away from home.

She also found out that Phumlani tried to kill Melusi (Zolisa Xaluva) several times.

--

Fans of the show were looking forward to Phumlani getting cancelled by the Molefes and the whole of Gomora.

They wanted cops to arrest him for tormenting Thati and pretending to be a good guy.

REACTIONS FROM GOMORA VIEWERS @Suprizy:

Gomora rotates around one place man or should I say four people; Thati, Gladys, Melusi and Ntokozo.

First Ntokozo Killed Thati's husband, then Gladys killed Thati's son, Thati also killed

Gladys's brother and now Melusi killed Thati's second husband.

Ay! too many killers in one soapie.

@JustSharmaine:

I hate that they've killed Phumlani before he was exposed.

Now they won't believe Thathi and Melusi.

I used to love this show but the writers really ruined it for this last season.

@Joyce25691069:

I was hoping that Phumlani would eventually be a good guy and end up marrying Gladys.

@lindsy3545:

That's not how I wanted Phumlani to die, I wanted him to suffer before dying.

LezozoOnAir:

But if Phumlani's dead, will Buhle ever be found?

@WitnessMandisa1:

As annoying as Phumlani was but I didn't want him to die like this, I wanted Mam'Sonto to learn about all the things he did then deal with him.
