In a heartfelt expression of gratitude, former Isibaya and Imbewu: The Seed star Gcina Mkhize has opened up about the overwhelming support she received from her colleagues and fans during a difficult period. Speaking candidly, Mkhize shared how many prominent figures in the entertainment industry, including Celeste Ntuli, Nomzamo Mbatha, Puleng Ndlovu, and Bongani Gumede, reached out to her with emotional and financial support. These acts of kindness not only provided solace but also made a tangible difference in her life and that of her family.
Mkhize, who has faced significant challenges in recent months, revealed that she received over R20,000 in contributions from both netizens and industry friends, directly deposited into her personal account. One particularly generous gesture came from Isibaya star Asavela Mngqithi, who donated R2,000 towards the cause. The support, she says profoundly impacted her and her children’s lives.
“I would like to thank each and every person who has made a donation to our BackaBuddy campaign,” Mkhize expressed in a moving statement. “I would also like to thank those who have made a deposit into my personal account. All the money is making a huge difference in our lives. My children and I are eternally grateful. We are deeply humbled by your kindness.”
Mkhize’s public gratitude highlights not only the generosity of her peers but also the power of community support during trying times.
