She has been a fan-favourite and trended on social media almost every week. In the latest episodes of The Wife, there were three deaths. At the centre of the three deaths was a feisty fan favourite, Mandisa played by Zikhona Sodlaka.

 ZIKHONA PARTING WAYS WITH THE WIFE

In episodes, 10 until 12 viewers witness the tragic demise of Mandisa.,"I'm not even sure where to begin, but perhaps, let me start from the beginning, From the very inception and creation of the books by Dudu-Busani Dube,' Zikhona says. "The Wife was already set up to win because the books are incredible and everybody who fell in love with them from their creation knew that they would love the screen version.'

FINAL GOODBYES

 Zikhona says that working alongside the cast has been quite the journey. 'We laughed, cried, brainstormed, fought, and committed. So thank you. Thank you to the cast ?" Mbalenhle Mavimbela, Khanyi Mbau, and the new additions to this season.' Mandisa's role was never supposed to be someone who lasted past the first season. "I had taken the role knowing that this is the character that dies in the first season. This is something that we knewf rom the word go as she also kills herself, even in the book. But because viewers loved her so much we had to keep her and in deciding to keep her, the writers explored what we could do with her, and the results were just pure magic!' she says. Zikhona is grateful to all the men, the husbands, and the brothers, especially Nqobizitha Zulu played by Abdul Khoza. "To the supporters, you guys have always believed in SouthAfrican stories. The supporters are very clear about what it is that they loveand what is true to them. And in this case, The Wife has affirmed even more so to me that South African stories are indeed superior to South Africans. It's been a privilege. It's been fun..'
