LINDIWE'S CONDITION WORSENS' The Citizen reports that the e.tv soapie Scandal! released a statement about Nomvelo Makhanya's role Lindiwe Ngema, which indicates that her condition will get worse and she will exit the show this Thursday, 10 November.
As her condition worsened, she was forced into a choice between the survival of her baby or having an abortion to ensure her own survival. Lindiwe decided that after all she had gone through in life, she would take the risk of keeping her baby, and fight to the bitter end.
Makhanya, who joined the soapie at 16 years bids farewell to the role of Lindiwe Ngema after nine years of playing the character.

She joined the show as Mlungisi Ngema's (Patrick Mofokeng) teenage daughter in Soweto and exits the show as Larona Maseko's mother and Nhlamulo's (Mathews Rantsoma) wife.
Her character was recently diagnosed with PAH after she found out she was pregnant and she had to choose between her life or her baby's life and she chose her baby.
Viewers will watch Lindiwe take her last breath on Thursday, 10 November at the hospital in front of the Masekos and Ngemas.

For real? I m going to watch from Monday episode. I d told myself that this week I m not watching just until the Lindi and aborting the baby part is over. It was too emotional to watch. Thank you @etvScandal for this kind of ending
