Viewers of #NqobileMzansi applauded Nqobile (Nqobile Khumalo) for finally defending herself against her abusive husband Simo (Kagiso Modupe) on Monday night's episode.
--
She began taking self-defence classes in previous episodes when her husband Simo started abusing her.
They were also impressed with actress Ayanda Borotho, who made her production debut on the show as the writer, producer, and creator.
Borotho expressed her gratitude on social media, and stated that she enjoyed writing the episode and was sad that the show is ending.

I absolutely enjoyed writing this episode.
I'm sad the show is coming to an end.
I wish I could tell you how divine this project was for us @avadmedia_Za.
You bet there'll be a chapter called Nqobile' in my next book.

BACKGROUND OF NQOBILE' Nqobile is an ill-treated makoti of the Nkosi family dynasty who manages to outsmart her entitled, abusive husband and take over his empire.
She transforms the business into a women-led e-hailing service, and with newfound grit, indirectly declares war against her spouse.
The show highlights a woman's quest to rise above marital abuse and begin to live fearlessly.
--
Viewers have seen her thrusting into a male-dominated industry and have seen her negotiating her freedom while maintaining respect.
Am so Proud of this girl Ayanda Borotho not only is she an great actress

At some point #NqobileMzansi should extend their episodes to either 1 hour or atleast 3 times a week, because this every Monday 30mins shows are not gonna work for me
