Popularly and loved for playing the character Xolile in e.tv's Scandal, Sive kept fans intrigued and glued to their television screens on weekday evenings.
Sivenathi Mabuye left the telenovela in September last year. This did not land well with viewers of the show as they were not ready to part with Xolile. Sive, however, did not rule out a possible return.
“So on Friday, we said a very subtle peace out to Xolile Langa. Yes, I can now finally say it out loud that we won’t be seeing her for a while. To exit the very same way she came into our lives was a homage to the true nature of her being… putting family first. That’s what we had in common; the love of family,” she posted.
Reflecting on her time on the show, the actress says one thing that stood out for her during her time on Scandal! was her evelotion.
“I can say so much about Xoli… but what will always stand out is her growth. From being Xolile Langa, to Xolile Langa Mayiza, to finally Xolile Langa-Medupe. And what a journey that was,” she added that this is not goodbye and did not rule out the possibility of returning to the show.
In her farewell, she did stress the fact that it was not the end
“This is not goodbye; this is till we meet again. I mean it’s @officialetvscandal after all. Thank you for the love, support and recognition. These past 4years have been magical… it was an absolute honour to play this character and to be a part of many family’s lives/homes in this country.
"This is one I’ll forever cherish. Oh but the memories… the joy, the laughter, the lessons, the BOOMIES!!! (THAT'S THE SCENE moments). I’ll never forget this opportunity. Later guys,” she posted on social media.
Early this year, Sive announced that her husband had brought the cows and paid lobola, marking the beginning of a new chapter. The couple had their traditional wedding which we reported on.
This afternoon Sive shared exclusive images from her beautiful wedding. She said she was surrounded by their loved ones as she and her husband made their love official.
The two, who've known each other for fourteen years are looking forward to this new chapter in their lives.
"With 14 years of knowing each other already behind us, we look forward to the new journey of marriage ahead.
"Thank you all for the love and support during the most unforgettable day of our lives," she wrote in part.
