Shalate Sekhabi has announced her departure from the popular drama series House of Zwide after four years on the show.
Sekhabi joined the series at its inception in 2021, playing the role of Shoki.

“It’s because of this character that I’ve become a household name and got my start in this industry.

Sekhabi also thanked the show’s producers, Bomb Productions, broadcaster e.tv, and fans for their support.
“This is truly the end of an era, but all chapters have to end at some point. I look forward to my future endeavours and sharing more work with all of you.”
