Isibaya: behind-the-scenes pics from Thandeka’s funeral have us in tears
If you’re obsessed with Isibaya, like we are, you’ll know that Mzansi is grieving the loss of one of the show’s most beloved characters: Thandeka.
Remember when she faced down the umkhovu? When she shot Nkabinde’s accomplice to save her son? And when Sbu and Thandeka almost divorced? Our favourite couple! Noooooo.
Here are a few behind-the-scenes images of the Isibaya cast and crew at the filming of Thandeka’s funeral, courtesy of Mzansi Magic.





















If you’re behind on episodes, you can stream all of Thandeka’s most memorable moments in seasons 1-7 of Isibaya on Showmax. There are also the latest episodes of The River and The Queen to watch on weekdays on Showmax, right after they air on Mzansi Magic.
