Is Makoma leaving etv Scandal?

The short answer is Makoma is not leaving etv Scandal. The long answer is that she may have contributed to the misunderstanding. On Friday, 7 March 2025, Makoma posted a picture of her fatally wounded character Thlogi with a giant pole on her chest with the caption, “Goodbye, my beloved. It has been good.”.

This led her fans to believe she was leaving, and even some news publications used that as indicative of her departure. However, it is not true; Makoma is not going anywhere; instead, her poorly worded caption meant she was saying goodbye to the season. Which ended on that same Friday.
