End of the Mazet era — Siphesihle Ndaba grateful as she bows out of 'Gomora'

Siphesihle Ndaba has bid her character Mazet on Gomora goodbye.

She is the latest actress to bow out of the show that first aired in March 2020, and which is in its fourth and final season this year.

Mzansi Magic announced its cancellation in mid-April. 

Taking to her Instagram timeline Siphesihle shared her gratitude and final snaps as Mazet.

“Goodnight my love. What an honour it has been to play with you. From the bottom of my heart; Thank you @seriti.tv , @mzansimagic , @dstvza . Thank you Gomora family. Thank you for opening your hearts to this very complex character. I’m forever humbled by the love. The end of one era is the birth of another. See you on the next one,” she captioned her post

Speaking on how she landed the role, she wrote a lengthy thread on Twitter about the audition process and her impostor syndrome.  

“I saw an open audition advertised on Instagram. I had just graduated so I thought, 'meh, let me go check this out, I have nothing better to do with my day'. I get to the audition venue, I look around and I see some really talented people who are already in the industry.

“I think to myself, 'LOL, if these people are auditioning for this role there’s no way I’m getting it so let me just save myself the trouble and go home'. As I approach the gate to leave and catch a taxi, I stop and think to myself, 's**t, when my mom asks me how it went I’d have to tell her I didn’t go through with it; that I came all the way here, succumbed to my fears/chickened out and went back home”. she wrote.

The last season of the drama series premiered on April 24 and the final episode will air on October 20.
