Despite being the face of Gomora since his return onset, Israel Matseke-Zulu has been making all sorts of headlines with his on-screen character of Don.
However, a few months into his much talked about return. He bowed out of the drama series after being shot point-blank by her wife Zodwa character played by Sannah Machunu.
Don was cast as Teddy's biological father, who abandoned him and Zodwa after finding love in the arms of Sibongile's mother, who happened to be rich.
However, in the mix of things, their affair turned south when Sibongile's mother died, and her family repossessed everything leaving Don with nothing. He was forced to return home only to find his son in the custody of Melusi and Gladys. Zodwa's parental custody was stripped-off due to her alcoholism.
After having a few months on set, Zulu saw his on-screen character being killed off because of his illness. Reports have it that the actor failed to come on set on time and move around after his gangrene illness worsened. The actor has it that he was even going on set with a wheelchair, which made things tough for the cast; hence he had to request his character to be killed.
