“After 4 incredible years, I am bidding farewell to Isidingo. I’ve learnt so many valuable lessons on leadership. I’ve grown in leaps and bounds. I have had the privilege of working with a brilliant crew. I’ve had the honour of working with an exceptional cast, whose work I’ve admired for a long time. I’m grateful to the fans who’ve supported the show tirelessly [sic],” she wrote.

“I’ve watched this show since I was a teen. Working on it has been so surreal. Bucket list item ticked. When you work on a long-running series your colleagues become family. I have the sweetest memories. I will miss this place and the people, but I’m really excited and ready for my next step. So here we go!! [sic],” she added.
