Ndlovu herself was helped to realise her own struggles with depression through bringing Nobuntu to life. Kwezi credits the show for being cathartic for her. Speaking about the experience, she said:

"I’d be lying if I said it was easy. There is not a single production in the world that is just easy. But once we started shooting, things went smooth. The team was united, and it was a pleasure coming to work. And it’s a bow out from me. I cannot even express how I feel right now."

The show has not only touched the cast but the viewers have become loyal fans. As the show is coming to an end, Daily Sun reports that the peeps are begging for more. Saturday, 26 December will be the last episode of the season and a second season is yet to be confirmed.
