Fact Check: The Reasons Why Gomora Is Better Than The Queen
Gomora came and conquered Mzansi Magic and Mzansi at large. Of late it has wowed Mzansi with its scandalous storylines capped with drama. No doubt that it has sent some shockwaves across the industry.
We can all agree that the debut of Gomora last year brought about a new concept of masterclass acting. Despite being Mzansi’s Magic most-followed soapie The Queen was ousted by Gomora.
Gomora dethroned The Queen because it has better storylines and better casting. There is not a single actor on Gomora that one could pinpoint as faulty or untalented.
Whereas The Queen seems to cast some of its casts based on their popularity, beauty and the number of followers they have on social media.
The head writers of this award-winning hit telenovela are none other than the multi-award-winning Tshedza Pictures duo, Phathu Makwarela and Gwydion Beynon who are the brains behind 1Magic’s The River and The Legacy.
