Speaking on her return Zandile said she is excited to be back on set.

“It has only been a few days since I returned on set and I am still taking it one step at a time, but what I am sure of is that I am happy to be back doing what I love,” she said.

“I don’t know where to begin. I missed everything about that show. I missed being around the whole team, creating magic together with the cast and crew, and the conversations that we have while chilling together.”

Zandile also thanked everyone that has been supportive towards her during her recovery.

“Thank you doesn’t begin to express my appreciation for all of you, I appreciate every call, text, DM, mention, prayer, love and well wishes that were directed to me,” she said.
