#Isibaya: Thandeka’s death leaves twitter emotional

Tweeps were left emotional after tonight’s episode of Isibaya where Thandeka Zungu, played by Nomzamo Mbatha died after being shot.

Details of Mbatha’s exit from the show were confirmed last week when the actress took to Instagram to share her excitement on being part of an international show overseas.

Bomb Productions tweeted and bid her farewell.

The death of a character is never easy. Thandeka touched our lives in a way we will never forget. Her character was love and strength personified. We have had many celebrations, tragedies and pivotal moments with this character. It was truly an honor. #RIPThandeka #Isibaya pic.twitter.com/gwSpWsSBmF
