Speaking about the incident, Nurse Phumeza revealed that she wanted an excuse to buy her mentor a bar of chocolate.
“I am privileged to share the same stage with actresses like Nelisiwe, I look up to her, and she treats me like an equal and her younger sister. Borrowing her adapter was just an excuse to buy her small chocolate.” – Nurse Phumeza Sibiya
On Durban Gen, Nurse Phumeza wouldn’t even hurt a fly. Her Phumeza character is a soft-spoken, compassionate and well-mannered medical practitioner who tends to her patients diligently; thus, she becomes the matron’s favourite nurse. She is married to a police officer, Detective Sibiya.
Born and bred in Pinetown, Tsidi Makitle is a twin sister to Tsidiso Makitle; they both graduated with Bachelor of Creative Arts Degrees from the University of Zululand in 2020.
She comes from a humble background, and since securing an acting gig on Durban Gen, she has become the family’s breadwinner. The twins’ mother suffered from a stroke and lost her income; she inspires her daughters as she fights back the stroke to function as she used to.
Offset, Tsidi gets along with Nelisiwe Sibiya and Nompilo Maphumulo, who plays Nosipho Xulu on Uzalo.
