Mzansi has been witnessing the cast leave the show with veteran actress Connie Chiume’s character Sonto bidding farewell.
Director Thabang Moleya captured a clip of an emotional moment where the actress and crew were bidding each other farewell.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE Connie said Gomora’s cast and crew were like a big family.
“I’m going to miss the people that I have been working with. Four years is such a long time. You get to bond, to know and understand one another — that’s the first thing I’m going to miss. Another would be the team that we were working with, from actors to the crew. We were working with very professional people who made sure that the stories that were written appear as is. That’s why Gomora, even after four years as it is ending, it is still on the number one spot. So I’m going to miss that creativity and professionalism among my colleagues and just being able to work together, you know, those interpersonal relationships.”
Connie said she enjoyed playing Sonto, a character that was unfamiliar to her. “Our job is to tell stories and portray characters, I actually really enjoyed Sonto.”
The last episode of Gomora airs on October 20.
The veteran actress has achieved so much in the course of her career, winning many awards both local and international, and crafting a place for herself in the industry.

Last day of shooting wit Ma’Connie Chiume on Gomora today. Curtains slowing closing on your No.1 daily show. Thank you Ma for leading wit love and light. It’s truly been an honour. What a gentle send off. Lump in my throat. 🥹#Gomora #gomoramzansi pic.twitter.com/1WttZlpK6X
