Thando can't die': The Queen' viewers react to Jessica Nkosi's departure
#TheQueenMzansi took to social media this weekend to bid farewell to actress Jessica Nkosi, who plays the role of Thando Sebata in the cancelled telenovela.
--
The actress surprised viewers when she revealed that she left the show after her character Thando Sebata got shot by Cebo Khoza on Friday.

THE END OF THE SEBATAS Fans of the actress Jessica Nkosi are applauding her for playing the villainous role of Thando Sebata in The Queen and wish she wasn't leaving so soon. This is after her father Hector Sebata, played by Rapulana Seiphemo got shot by Harriet's hitman and Thando shot Cebo in defense.
--
Most viewers of The Queen are not concerned about Hector and MaJali's (Nomsa Buthelezi) deaths as they didn't connect with them as much as Thando.
Nkosi's exit marks the end of the Sebatas after the departures of Mpho Sebata (Ntando Duma), Khumo Sebata (Molemo Tlali), and Hector Sebata (Rapulana Seiphemo).
The seventh and final season of the long-running show begins tonight (Monday, 25 July) after seven years on television.

THE QUEEN' VIEWERS REACT TO HER EXIT @JabuLephuting:
She saw Cebo shooting her dad, instead of falling apart.
Mogirl pulled the gun and shoot to kill, me running to google how to be like Thando in my next life this girl is on fire salute.
@muzzybless:
She killed it. Mpho's death unleashed something in Thando. I've never seen her like that.
@AGlossylips:
A nice switch from Ndlunkulu in Isibaya to a heartless killer.
@ChrisPowerpoint:
She killed the character role, yes but the whole telenovelas plot and storyline are boring now, very predictable.
When a character leaves, which is quite often, they get a replica who is just an extension of the departed character.
@ngestrop:
I just didn't get why Thando forgot the pain they caused the Khozas when her family killed Kea.
