SK Khoza's exit has saddened fans of the Mzansi Magic telenovela, The Queen, because he and Themba Ndaba (Brutus Khoza) have won them over with their sharp comments and hilarious stories.

Brutus and Shaka Khoza (Sk Khoza) are never shy to give their opinions about anything or anyone.

FAVOURITE MOMENTS FROM BRUTUS AND SHAKA MOCKING MPHO SEBATA'S DEATH
--
Brutus paid hitmen to attack the Sebatas at their family gathering which ended actress, Ntando Duma's character (Mpho Sebata) life.
The pair social media in tears of laughter when they attended her funeral and laughed throughout the whole ceremony like two schoolgirls.
THESE TWO WILL NOT SEE HEAVEN
God takes the kind and wonderful people early so that they are saved from pain
Sis Pat gave a tear-jerking speech at Mpho's funeral. But Shaka & Brutus were sipping on booze and laughing

RISING FROM THE DEAD
Both Brutus and Shaka have died and risen from the dead on the show!
Brutus was killed by a bomb explosion which was planted by Diamond Mabuza in the third season of the Mzansi Magic show.
Viewers were relieved that their favourite uncle had survived the explosion and were laughing out loud when he told his family that he'd wrestled crocodiles and had seen Jesus.
I saw Jesus and I said to Him, Take me Lord' and He said, No, go back, Khoza.
SK Khoza was fired by the production company in 2019 and his character got killed the same year in 2019.
He rose from the dead in June 2020 after fans signed a petition requesting his return.

BAD ADVISERS
The duo is also famous for giving terrible advise to each other and the rest of their family members.
The words that often come out of Brutus' mouth aren't always measured and producers often have to mute him when he's swearing on the show.
Viewers have often stated that they connect to Ndaba's character because everyone has an Uncle Brutus in their family, with his signature toothpick in his mouth and a drink in his hand.
Brutus will definitely be incomplete without Shaka who often puts him in his place when he gets out of hand.
Brutus and Shaka play too much. #TheQueenMzansi
