As I bow today after 8 and a half years on @uzalo_sabc1 I would like to thank all of you guys for the support you have given me and the love you have shown for me and my craft. It’s been quite a journey, a beautiful one. Trended a number of times, cried, laughed but most of all I enjoyed and embraced playing Nosipho. We are all going to miss her, especially me, but rest assured Nompilo is not done yet. In fact it’s only the beginning,” she wrote.

In a separate post she wrote an appreciation to the actor who has played her on-screen son.

“I know we both wish for more time to sigijima but the writers had other plans. If there’s one thing I pray for ukugijima nawe again Son. Be it screen or live in Theatre. You remind me of me. I miss you Boy. God gave me another Son in You. Thank you for your honesty when performing, it’s been an honour sharing craft with you. You are exceptional in what you do. I want to hold it down and never lose focus. See you soon Ntwana Yami,” was her caption.
