Popular Mzansi Magic telenovela The Queen has announced the return of actress Cindy Mahlangu who will resume her role as Siyanda. Viewers have expressed their shock at this announcement as Siyanda was shot by Goodness which resulted in her leaving the show.
Cindy had left the telenovela after her contract had ended with the telenovela but it seems they have decided to renew it. It turns out that Siyanda did not die after being shot by Goodness played by Zenande Mfenyane.
“Hope y’all are ready to watch your girl @cindy_thando as she makes her highly anticipated return on The Queen this week,” the soapie announced on Instagram.
This is not the first character to return from the dead. Former main character Jerry Maake played by Shona Ferguson was also killed but rose from the dead. As a way of exiting the show for good, he got killed off again.
SK Khoza who plays Shaka Khoza also had a dramatic exit from the show. He got killed and then buried by his family members Kagiso Khoza and Dingaan. His exit gave fans palpitations and emotions ran high to the point where a petition was started to bring him back.
The petition worked as it was announced months later that he would be returning. The fans were livid especially by his ‘weak’ departure which was not seen fit for the character he played.
The petition gained over 29 300 signatures, with a target set at 35 000, went viral and many believe it played a major role in getting him back on set. Even though at the time he was so sure that he would not be returning, he told his fans to not be hopeful as he is not returning.
This is a soap, it’s a Telenovela…characters come and go, that’s how soap operates. It is for story and sometimes to introduce another story, but characters come and go. This is not something exclusive to The Queen…It happens everywhere and it happens every time,” Connie responded
