If you are an avid Durban Gen viewer, you will remember that a certain patient was hurried into the Durban Gen corridors following a terrible accident that almost claimed his life. No one has any idea who he is and have since given the nameless patient the nickname “Mr Glass” patient having suffered a terrible accident. Could Mr Glass be Dr Mthembu?
Doctor Zondo has also been receiving flowers and sweet letters from an unknown gentleman that seems to have taken a liking to the sultry and sometimes short-tempered Dr Zondo. The gentleman has been very consistent and viewers are ready to finally find out who this romantic man is. Could it be Dr Mthembu again and if it is him, how did he pull it off?
Of late the drama series has seen itself dropping numbers in viewership. The drop came barely a few months after it became the first drama series to reach the 2 million viewership mark two months after its debut. To make matters worse the drama series has seen the mass exodus of actors of late.
Rumour has it that the show is bringing in new actors to boost its viewership. No doubt Lehasa might bring in the much-needed numbers.
