Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Sdumo would not confirm whether he had left the show, explaining that he was still shooting with the production for now.
"I am still on the set of the show and can't comment on whether I am leaving or not. I have been working on a number of projects at the moment and Isibaya have been great in allowing me to do several different things at the same time. All I can say is that fans will have to wait and see what happens in the future," Sdumo said.
