IN MEMES | Confusion still reigns over Lebo Mathosa biopic
Actress Bahumi Madisakwane's appearance in the Lebo Mathosa biopic did not save viewers from confusion on Wednesday night.
The latest episode of Dream: The Lebo Mathosa Story aired and again trended on social media.
Bahumi appeared as a young Lebo, to many positive reviews.
But fans were still confused by the series' timeline and why the story jumped between the adult and young version of Lebo.
Ntsiki Mazwai was among those who reacted, saying “a mediocre effort was made for such a hugely gifted star”. She added that producers “don't take themselves seriously”.
I'm sad that such a mediocre effort was made for such a hugely gifted star. Like wow. They don't take themselves seriously https://t.co/I1aeZIlxCU

Penny Lebyane defended the show, saying:“There’s really nothing wrong with the production some of you what name tags on the cast, maybe dates of events based on what you read or think you know. Give the production a chance. Let the story unfold, shucks. Latshwenya yeses.”

OK let's talk about the cast. Bahumi for me is OK, KB is a bit old to play Lebo. They could have left Bahumi alone to play Lebo. Lebo died at only 29. Soo many things are wrong in this biopic. The only thing they got right is a role of the late Stylist Iko Mash. #LeboMathosaBET

#lebomathosabet I just feel like the story should have started with Bahumi as the young Lebo Mathosa then later KB, not this back and forth, back and forth. 😩😩 pic.twitter.com/yjB6gP9Nfh
