The previous week has been characterised by a lot of touching farewell messages from the members of cast as they said bye to a soapie that had found its way into the hearts of many.
What was supposed to be 6 months on @isibayamzansi turned into almost 4 years of fun and learning. I still can’t believe I made my TV debut on #ISIBAYA 🥺 thank you @bomb_productions @mzansimagic @isibayamzansi for trusting and believing in me❤️ – Asavela Mgqithi –
“What a beautiful 8 years on Isibaya with you. Thank you for so many beautiful scenes and memories, for sharing your talent and being so joyful. You have been such a delight to watch on screen, to talk to and work with. You are a gentleman, a professional and an amazing talent.
I have loved Sbu deeply, who this character is in his essence. He has been so important for SA TV, too much negative representation of young back men in the world, Sbu represented a young man making his own journey, staying true to his own values and integrity, trying to break free from the shackles of past, but still respecting his roots and culture, hardworking, fueled by ambition, wanting to build a decent life and family.
He has remained a man of integrity no matter what. And I have loved and admired how you took the character off the page and sculpted him to be such a strong person that everyone loved.” Sdumo Mtshali
“I joined on later in its conception but I learnt so much , what a crazy ride.❤️❤️❤️ @O_GrandJo ( Bomb production) thanks for the lessons.” Enhle Mbali
It’s been a beautiful journey with the soapie and it will be heartbreaking to say bye to some of our favourites. From some of the greatest rivalries om screen as well as the best love stories on TV.
Farewell Isibaya
