Homecoming <\/i>fans have expressed dissatisfaction with Thembinkosi Mthembu’s new part in The Four of Us<\/i> as Banzi Dhlomo.<\/p>\n

Recently, Mthembu attracted attention when he left Mzansi Wethu’s telenovela Homecoming<\/i> to join the eTV show.<\/p>\n

A fan on the platform X, @thisizsibzz, commented on Thursday, 2 July 2026, expressing regret over Mthembu’s departure from Homecoming.<\/p>\n

“I wish Thembinkosi Mthembu never left Homecoming,” he wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another user, @b_d_also, took to his X account <\/a>on Friday, 3 July 2026, to show his discontent with Mthembu’s new hairstyle.<\/p>\n

“And that bloody haircut is driving me nuts!” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

@Vuyiswa_Msweli expressed:<\/p>\n

“I hate it so much. Why did they do that to Shobane yesterday was worse.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

@MbamboPhiloh replied:<\/p>\n

“It is stressing me out ayboooooo that hair cut kanti yini ngempela,” (What’s going on with the haircut).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

@UppityAfrican_ stated:<\/p>\n

“Omg yes! I like him bald.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

@Mahlasedy remarked:<\/p>\n

“We were watching Homecoming because of him. Now, on this show, people are watching because of Sdumo and Sindi; he will never be the center of this show.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

@thisiz_sibzzz added:<\/p>\n

“He is a background actor, it’s so sad.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

@jabs_unfiltered commented:<\/p>\n

“He needs to go back and be resurrected Days of our Lives style \u2026kuyabhedza lapha (it’s not going well) and where he went ayi khona akuhambi kahle.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

@thisiz_sibzzz responded:<\/p>\n

“Makabuye sana, (he must come back). Terrible things are happening there .”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

@siyasinivasan voiced:<\/p>\n

“Sana, he barely has lines on these episodes. I think this is one of those bad decisions you make in a while in your career.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

@iamchumisa expressed:<\/p>\n

“Like if it was about him leaving the show, they could\u2019ve gotten another actor to replace him. For example, Kwenzo Ngcobo or any other actor. To kill off Sfiso really ruined the show. Zethu and Shobane have zero chemistry, plus all the other storylines are just not it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

@thisiz_sibzzz remarked:<\/p>\n

“They missed Sana, the show is terrible right now. He was the plot.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

@thato_matlaila_ shared:<\/p>\n

“I thought it was just me.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

@mohlala_miriam added:<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s so irritating to the eye hle.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

@teetubeni mentioned:<\/p>\n

“He’s giving Tyler Perry.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
