"And this was from House of Zwide," adds the star in the video.
The late actress trended on social media in 2021, when a social media user began spreading rumours that she passed away after her character MaZwide was killed on e.TV's fashion telenovela, House of Zwide.
Nyembe, who was shocked and angered by the death hoax, confirmed in an interview with Daily Sun that she was well and alive.
“I can’t believe one can run with such a malicious story and even add my age," said the veteran star.
Nyembe also shared with the publication that her friends and family broke into tears when they heard her voice on the phone, as they thought she was dead.
“People broke into tears when they heard my voice when I answered the phone, and some were even afraid to call me,” said the star at the time.
The multi-award-winning actress also said that her loved ones resorted to calling her friends to confirm if she was really dead.
On the show, Nyembe's character was strangled to death by Winnie Ntshaba's character, Faith Zwide.

"The production houses in this country need to be seriously looked into. The exploitation of creatives can't continue like it's business as usual. A thorough intervention by the arts advocates, including the government entities, must come up with a comprehensive regulatory system."
