With the story evolving and new characters joining the cast, Deliwe's journey has come to an end. Shirley Adonisi, MultiChoice director of local entertainment channels, said the actor outdid herself on the show. "Slindile's portrayal of Deliwe was both captivating and divisive, making her a standout character.
Her talent has shone brightly on this show and others across Mzansi." Adonisi added: "Despite her departure, there's plenty to look forward to in the new season, including new secrets, Sibongile's next chapter, and the future of Vuma's love life without Deliwe." Quite a few actors have been leaving shows.
Veteran actor Vusi Kunene is rejoining the cast of SABC1's Generations: The Legacy to reprise his role as Jack Mabaso after exiting e.tv's House of Zwide.

He will continue to heighten the standard of entertainment television in South Africa and beyond, reminding us of the iconic status of Generations," executive producer Mfundi Vundla said.
Speaking to News24 about Kunene's exit, producer Thabo Boom said Kunene asked to be excused from the show to take a break from showbiz. "Bra Vusi has been on SA screens daily for over 20 years, the leading man of many hit shows and asked to be excused from season 4 so he could take a break from the demanding schedule of daily TV and have some time to explore other genres and mediums," he said. In addition to Kunene from the e.
tv family, Matthews Rantsoma and Melusi Mbele have also exited Scandal! "To everyone who supported the character from the beginning ...
loved it through time, and never wanted to leave its side, I am forever grateful for this gift you guys gave me; even when it was difficult to play the character, you were there," said Rantsoma. Melusi Mbele also left the show and, soon after that, was announced as the lead in Showmax's The Butcher's Soul . He told News24 that he fell in love with action movies in his teens.
"I would be watching the likes of (Jean-Claude) Van Damme, Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, and they would be out there saving beautiful women, their families, loved ones or the world, and I would picture myself doing exactly that and being that kind of hero. It had always been running in my head that if I could be in those kinds of movies, it would be a dream true."
