    Radio and TV personality Penny Lebyane was recently announced as the new host of “The Big Secret” hosted by Khanyi Mbau in season one and Masechaba Ndlovu in season two.Penny Lebyane

    In this season, which kicked off on November 19, the guests face off in a tell-all session where the person revealing the big secret gets to come clean on a deep secret.
    It’s been said that the first episode was already a dramatic affair with the offender in the big secret coming face to face with the revealer in the presence of family and friends, who are hearing the news for the first time.

    Lebyane announced her departure from Honey TV ‘s “Sangoma, Khanyisa!” in October this year, after hosting the show for two seasons.

    Lebyane told IOL Entertainment that the decision to join “The Big Secret” has been exciting and challenging as the show deals with real issues. “It’s exciting, fun and challenging because we deal with South Africans from all walks of life on their real issues.

    “I understand that the challenge of trying to have conversations with your loved ones because of the cultural backgrounds we come from, especially as a young person trying to articulate something to a parent, whether it’s a lover who is keeping a secret from a partner.penny labyane “Because of my background in the mental health space, I know how it can be so I brought in a lot of my understanding of that to just presenting this gig and not treating it like just another presenting show, it’s more of a mediator/facilitator thing. “Viewers can expect me to be empathetic and, at the same time, I’m not going to take the responsibility of dealing with what you need to do.”

    In her role as the show host Lebyane is tasked with offering support and guidance as guests reveal their deep secrets in the hopes of freeing themselves of the burden of the big secret.

    She added: “I’m a real person and I do understand that we are making television but I do draw from my real life and I aim to treat the guests with respect and dignity. I love having conversations with ordinary South Africans.”

    A post shared by SIHLE NDABA (@thesihlendaba)

    Ndaba’s character while playing a lesbian was one of the iconic roles, especially during a time where education around gender and sexual orientation is at its peak. Viewers fell in love with her character because it was very laid back yet relatable.

    Her role as the businesswoman, who held a very high position in the family company was breaking boundaries and stereotypes, from the usual lesbian roles on television. The viewers were just as astonished by the fair and equal representation of the Queer community.

    Although Ndaba is not gay in real life but she once mentioned that this role was challenging yet educational as well for her. She really had to dig deep within her artistry in order for her to offer her fans and viewers a character that was researched and fully-fledged.

    Some of Sihle Ndaba’s industry friends, actors and actresses have congratulated Ndaba for her incredible artistry while portraying the role of Dudu Kubheka.

    Evidently, it is still bitter sweet for some of her fans and viewers of Scandal, as they have come to love and enjoy her on their television screens. Also, Sihle Ndaba’s exit comes after the shocking exit of Nomvelo Makhanya who has been portraying the role of Lindiwe for years.

    ruth_nashe wrote “You will still be my favorite dude🔥🙌”

    makhanya.thami wrote “Shine that light gorgeous 😍”

    Even Nomvelo Makhaya shares a heartfelt note to Sihle Ndaba, following her exit on Scandal. Sihle Ndaba responded to Nomvelo Makhanya with heart emojis and called her lunchbar, which could only be nickname perhaps on set.

    mvelomakhanya wrote “Upwards we go, ke sana 😅🫢💃🏾🤍🤍🤍”

    thesihlendaba@ wrote “mvelomakhanya LUNCHBAR❤️‍🔥😅❤️🙌🏾☀️💃🏾❤️‍🔥”

    Dudu exited the show as she was leaving for France after she got a better job offer. Before leaving, she was still conflicted between getting back with her ex Lera, meanwhile she was already engaged to Bridget. She did the unthinkable when she left Bridget and went ahead to fly alone to France after turning down Lera’s proposal to marry her.
