MELUSI DLAMINI'S CURRENT STORYLINE Viewers of the show already noticed that Zolisa Xaluva's character - Melusi Dlamini wasn't mentioned in the TVSA May teasers.

Melusi killed Phumlani on Friday after he found him trying to kill his love interest Thati - played by Katlego Danke.

Fans were furious with Phumlani's exit as they wanted Thati's family to find out about his deviousness before he was killed.

Melusi also called the cops on himself and got arrested instead of cleaning up the body and getting away with murder.

The season three teaser reveals that Thati will be released from jail this coming week and that her family will hate her for killing Phumlani' as they adored him and thought he was a better man than Melusi.
