@RuvimboMatsheza:
I don't mind Hector and MaJali dying, Thando didn't have to die, I wanted to see her and Bhambatha's married life.
@SanSanele:
Thando Sebata, why though? #TheQueenMzansi Kudos to Jessica Nkosi for KILLING that role.
@tshiamofaith:
Jessica Nkosi killed this Thando role you'll be missed.
@Fortune__R:
MaJali and Cebo could've avoided all of this by asking Harriet. What a mess, Bhambatha won't forgive them for their shenanigans. They've killed his makoti.
A big shout out to Jessica she naed her role as Thando, unfortunately she is leaving #TheQueenMzansi pic.twitter.com/VNz3wbAFzH
