Fans of e.tv Smoke and Mirrors have not been impressed by legendary actor Hlomla Dandala in the role of Caesar.
Former The River actor Hlomla Dandala broke his silence on replacing Zolisa Xaluva in Smoke and Mirrors as the new Caesar; he says that this is an exciting challenge for him as the character of Caesar is loved by viewers. His aim is to please and ensure that he delivers as a performer.
This is an exciting challenge for me … playing a villainous character such as Caesar will surely bring the best out of me. But, more than anything, I’m excited to be back with the e-family and I look forward to a real joyride as we enter the second season of the show, he said

Smoke and Mirrors’ viewers criticise new Caeser
@Reel_TalkZA says: “I am just going to say it, there is no chemistry between Hlomla Dandala and Ayanda Bandla. This is a disaster; Lala must come fetch her man and they must do #TheRiver again. Bring Zolisa back, I hate it here.”
@officiallebza: “Hlomla as Caesar is falling so flat. Mbulelo Grootboom might have even been better.”
@Mbalizah7: “I totally agree, it’s very awkward between Hlomla and Ayanda. Hoping basazojwayelana and form some kind of chemistry, it will never be what she had with Zolisa but ke.”
@McShandoo: “I’m not happy with our new Ceaser it’s so cringe watching Hlomla as Ceaser. His acting is so off for this role. I think he is better acting a lover not a fighter it just doesn’t work for me, every time he appears I wanna fast forward.”
