The beloved actor recently parted ways with his roles as Shongwe and Mr Xulu on Skeem Saam.<\/i><\/p>\n

Ndwaba shared the screen with Nozi Langa, who portrayed his love interest Glenda in the educational drama.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, 6 May 2026, the actor used his Instagram account<\/a> to express his farewell to the informative series.<\/p>\n

\n

Ndwaba wrote: “Ahead of tonight\u2019s final episode for Shongwe. I feel like it\u2019s important for me to pause and sit with what this season has been. Season 14 marks my second season on @skeemsaam13, and what a journey it has been. Five months of crafting this arc have felt like a lifetime as I discovered myself.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He also expressed gratitude to the production team, directors, and crew for fostering a supportive environment. Additionally, Ndwaba thanked his co-actors for their collaborative spirit.<\/p>\n

\n

“This season has been more than just work for me. It has been a moment of alignment. A reminder of why I do this and who I do it for. This is not a goodbye. I don\u2019t really believe in those. This is an ‘I\u2019ll see you soon’,” added the star. ❤️🙏🏾🎬<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
