Nandipha Ndata, known as Nandi from the TV reality show Umndeni, has died after a short illness.
Ndata passed away on Monday, just two months after her gay partner on the show, Siphehle Masingila (Sihle), died.
The cause of her death hasn’t been officially announced.
Ndata and Masingila were in a relationship with gay sangoma Mkhulu Tau (Tau Yaleshoka on Umndeni), who referred to them as his “wives”.
Tau is legally married to Madipoto and is also in a relationship with gays Fezile and Harry on the show.
Ndata was a well-known cast member of Umndeni on DStv’s Moja Love channel. The show follows the polygamous lives of traditional healers and their partners.
Tau reportedly ended his relationship with Ndata at Masingila’s funeral.
The deaths of two cast members in such a short time have shocked fans of the show. Many are sharing their condolences and remembering Ndata’s contributions to Umndeni.
No official statement has yet been made regarding the circumstances of Ndata’s death.
The production team and fellow cast members have not commented publicly on the loss.
