Sibiya's character is a lawyer who is representing Zoleka (Lunathi Mampofu) through her divorce with Hlathi (Sisa Hewana).
Viewers of the popular telenovela have been raving about the isiXhosa telenovela since it aired on Mzansi Magic earlier this year.
Entertainment commentator Jabu McDonald criticised Kay Sibiya's character on his X account on Wednesday, 10 September 2025.
He wrote: "Le lawyer yona (this lawyer) is getting paid for mahala, (nothing). 😭😭🤚🏽 Zoleka comes up with solutions, he is just sitting there looking confused."
@EzamaCirha reacted:
"Looking confused like Hlathi 😂😂🤣. Where is Sandra when we need her?"

"Zoleka should've gone for Sandra Steyn. This guy is horrible in both being a lawyer and acting." 🎭
@JezzaMaqasa replied:
"There's no escaping that Community of property, Zoleka, unfortunately. It's a dagger behind her back. She should accept it and move on."
@OfficialBongile reacted:
"If anything, I'm glad he cut ties with my girl Linda, cause she doesn't deserve such stupidity 😭😭😭😭😭."
@itslimpolo commented:
"This character is just making the actor look bad really."
@OreeditseMawela said:
"Divorces can always be contested, and there must be some form of mediation where Hlathi compromise, them being apart for 20 years is grounds, but another dynamic is that Hlathi raised Qawekaxi for 20 years and supported her financially alone while Zoleka was earning dollars."
@Macivashe replied:
"This one is not even trying. If I didn't know better, I would say he actually wants her to pay 50%."
@SikhumbuzoMali commented:
"I was expecting him to make miracles, but he is just as delusional. He gave her the possible solutions as well, and they are in accordance with the law. What more is he expected to do. Hay maan."
@thato_stalion said:
"Any lawyer would be confused because all these solutions come from a place of desperation and have little to do with the question why Hlathi is not legally entitled to half."
In more entertainment news, Briefly News previously reported that popular radio and TV personality Anele Mdoda shared on her social media account that she once met a man like Hlathi from Inimba.
Hlathi, played by former Isidingo actor Sisa Hewana, recently got dragged by viewers of the show when he mistreated his wife, Zoleka, played by Lunathi Mampofu.
Fans of the show are disappointed with Hewana's character, who has been financially and emotionally abusive towards his estranged wife, Zoleka.
