The real reason Zolisa left Gomora
Zolisa Xaluva played the role of no-nonsense headmaster in Mzansi Magic’s Gomora. He left the drama at the end of season 2.
Speaking to Mac G about why he left the show, Xaluva said that production started deviating from what his character initially stood for.
“Part of the reasons I left the show was that they kind of deviated from the original concept of him being pure and a good man.
“We had conversations about what we were going to do for season 3 but ultimately we were like let’s park it for now until we can find a way where we can redeem the character for the future.”
