It became clear last night that everything pertaining to the character of Lindiwe Maseko played by Nomvelo Makhanya on etv’s Scandal has come to a draw after a successful 9-year run.
Nomvelo Makhanya has been with Scandal for 9 years and her story has grown immensely over the years. She became a household name with a legion of fans and recently won a SAFTA for Best Supporting Actress in a feature film, for her role in the Netflix film “I Am All Girls”.
It is unbelievable that 9 years later she has left the show. Playing the character Lindiwe, her journey began as a high school student in the Ngema household in Soweto. She made her way through a life filled with trials and tribulations where she became the owner of a club and married Nhlamulo.
Last night Lindiwe took her final breath after all the agony she suffered through. Her exit was too emotional. Although the viewers knew fully well that the actors were simply acting, their reactions to her death hit home and it cut deep.
Her father Mlungisi Ngema played by Patrick Ngema, returned to the show for his daughter’s final moment. He freed her from all the pains she endured and asked her ancestors to welcome her.
“Rest in Peace, my child.” – Mlungisi to Lindiwe. 😭 💔
I can’t imagine the pain of watching your child in agony as she eventually drifts away. Sending so much love and light to the parents that have been in this unfortunate situation. 💕 #etvscandal pic.twitter.com/MRqQFC9eUA

Lindiwe’s final words to her mother were touching. She heaped high praise on her for her stellar parenting skills. “You are the best mother in the world.”
It was painful for Zinzile to witness her daughter drift away from her and she broke down as she took her last breath. “I love you so much Lindiwe,” says her mother while Lindiwe takes her final breath. Lindiwe please do not leave. What would I be without you,” she said while breaking down.
Scandal has bid an emotional farewell to Nomvelo by sharing some of their memories of her from the show. “Lindiwe Maseko may be gone but she will never be forgotten! To Nomvelo Makhanya, thank you for sharing your talent with us over the past 9 years. Thank you for the magic and memories! We wish you all the best with your career! From your #etvscandal family,” reads a tweet.
