“Rest in Peace sthandwa sami (my love). There's alot I still want to say to you. I had finally found my twin sister. We just found each other again and now you're gone, I meant every word when I said I like you, because you join in on my weirdness… GOD only takes the best and you were the best sthandwa sami (my love),” she wrote.

Imbewu cast members Owethu Enhle Gambushe (deceased) and fellow actress Portia Ncwane.
Ncwane often shared pictures of her and Gambushe on her social media pages and routinely referred to Gambushe as her twin.
Ncwane added that Gambushe’s death was a ‘moment of impact’.
“My theory is that these moments of impact, these flashes of high intensity that completely turn our lives upside down actually end up defining who we are,” she wrote.
“The thing is each one of us is the sum total of every moment that we’ve ever experienced, with all the people we’ve ever known It is these moments that become our history, like our own personal greatest hits of memories that we play and replay in our mind over and over again,” she said.
