Summoning her age mates who also turned 40 in 2025, the actress requested that they respond to her post with photos of themselves, and they did not hold back.

"If you turned 40 this year, post your pic sikubone. I’ll go first."

The 1985 gang confidently took to the comment section with pictures showing how well the famous fourth floor is treating them.

Stepping into the new year also ushered in new accolades for Zenande, who was recently honoured with an award at the National Film and Television Awards (NFTA) in the Best Actress in a TV Series category for her role on Inimba as Thumeka.

Speaking on the award and her character, which has quickly become a fan-favourite, Mfenyana said it was one of the most challenging roles she has ever taken on.

"When the opportunity to play the role of Thumeka came along, I grabbed it with both arms and legs and fully immersed myself in her shoes. I’ve never played a more challenging and intriguing role in my life."
