Last night's episode saw the death of MaCele played by Monica Thuli Zulu. MaCele succumbed to a heart attack after her husband told her that he has used up all their family savings.
Bidding farewell to MaCele, actress Nelisiwe Sibiya who plays Dr. Mbali on the show took to Instagram to share a sad video of MaCele's last moments.
She wrote: "Yawa Le Mbewu. 😭😭😭 Yoh ai shame. Please catch us on @etvonline @durbangen_etv at 18:30 and let’s Tweet using #durbangen saying GOODBYE TO MaCele ❤️💔💔."
Speaking about her exit on Instagram, Lerato said she will always remember the human qualities of Dr, Luthuli.
She wrote: “Although I’m leaving I’ll never forget the human qualities Ndabezinhle has taught me, that it’s okay to be vulnerable, kind, compassionate, and flawed. To my colleagues thank you for being crazy, yall made every day on set so much fun. I’m sorry for bullying yall into making Tiktoks with me.”
She thanked the show for giving her an opportunity and her colleagues and friends for the journey.
“I’d like to express my gratitude to @durbangen_etv @stainedglasstv1 for rendering me the opportunity to learn, grow and become better as a performer day by day. Thank you @ms_mitzi and @gugu_zuma_ncube for believing in me and being the best bosses that a young lady could ever ask for, I am so blessed and highly favored to have been chosen to be a part of your team. Your words of encouragement and direction that yall give us mean a lot to us.
“Thank you to my colleagues/friends for being so kind, so crazy, welcoming, and loving. @duduzile_ngcob @mavuso101 thank you for being my parents on and off set, words fail me. God sent me angels. @zukonodada I feel I owe my whole progress as an actor to you. You were so patient and really pushed me to do my level best. You’ve helped me unveil my capabilities, I’ll never stop bragging about working with you everywhere I go.”
Another memorable passing of a popular character on the show happened earlier this year after Dr. Mnqobi Mchunu played by TV presenter and musician Fanele Zulu succumbed to gunshot wounds after being shot by a criminal.
Bidding farewell to the show Fanele posted an emotional video of his character’s passing on Instagram.
