SONIA MBELE AS NTOMBI DHLOMO Ntombi exited the show more than five years ago and was married to actor, Menzi Ngubane, who played the role of Sibusiso Dhlomo.

She recently tweeted:

--

Y'all really still call me Ntombi?

Tweeps flooded her mentions and reminded her that she will always be Ntombi, the same way the late Menzi Ngubane will always be Sibusiso.

The pair were Mzansi's favourite on-screen couple, and viewers became even more attached to them when they had a baby named, Christina Dlhomo.

Sebogodi, who currently plays the role of Mohumi on 1Magic's telenovela, The River is still referred to by fans as Kenneth Mashaba seven years later.

Viewers often tweet his hilarious one-liner abore hwa and the pet name he had for his on-screen wife, Dineo Dinny Mashaba played by Katlego Danke.
