Skeem Saam actress Innocent “Inno” Sadiki and her twin sister media personality Millicent “Milly” Mashile, popularly known as the Cent Twinz, are mourning the loss of their grandmother. 

Taking to her Instagram Inno shared snaps of the memories she shared with her grandmother, who raised her and Milly. 

“Farewell my queen, my best friend, my love, my Gigi, my everything, my heart, my strength. The day I dreaded all my life. The worst nightmare. That day has come and for the first time I felt my heart jumping out of my chest. I can’t believe you going to finally meet your daughter & my mother again. Your precious baby girl. Have fun girls,” wrote Inno.

Her mentions were filled with condolence messages from her followers. 

“You are blessed, may all the memories you have together be comfort during this time and your future without her. My condolences my love,” wrote LaConco.

“Sending you so much love,” wrote Ayanda Thabethe. 

Milly also paid tribute to her grandmother on her Instagram timeline. 

“Shup Shup Gogo. My heart is torn in pieces but I’m happy you are no longer in pain. It’s been a tough couple of months, you fought my queen. Gogo Siyabonga, thank you! You loved us unconditionally. We are because of you. I don’t know how I will navigate life without you. God see us through. Here’s your favourite song, indeed God has been the Alpha & the Omega,” she wrote. 

In a recent sit-down on their YouTube channel, the twins spoke of how they lost their mother when they were four years old and their father when they were teens.

They also said they were grateful to their grandmother for raising them. 

“It caused a lot of trauma for me. The first couple of years as a child, I don't remember them at all. The only memories I have are of me in my 20s. Now that we are older, we have so many questions that are unanswered,” Milly said.
