'Chasing summer, sunsets, and soaking up the beauty of the Indian Ocean,' she captioned her snaps.
Seete's island escape comes shortly after the launch of the third season of Kings of Joburg, which premiered on Friday, 13 June.
She reprises her role as Keneilwe Masire in the hit Netflix series. Speaking to The Citizen ahead of the premiere, Seete said her character has evolved significantly since the first season.
While Keneilwe had a fiery streak in earlier seasons, Seete said she now brings a calmer, more protective energy to the role.
'This season, you see her heart and her commitment to saving her family. She's a mother, a voice of reason — someone who'll do anything to protect her family.'

Phumlani bowed out of the show earlier this month. Actor Phumlani Mndebele says his role as Nyengelezi on Mzansi Magic's hit drama Shaka iLembe was a spiritually awakening experience. The theatre and television star bowed out of the show earlier this month. ALSO READ: Gregory Maqoma on portraying one of his ancestors on 'Shaka iLembe' Culture and history lessons Speaking to The Citizen, Mndebele said the show not only connected him to his cultural roots but also deepened his understanding of history. 'For me, it was quite a spiritual show. I learnt so much about my culture, my people, and King Shaka himself – just how powerful he was as a black man. 'It was an amazing experience. But most importantly, it was spiritually awakening for me to know my roots and where I come from,' he said. Mndebele first joined the drama in its first seaon which premiered in June 2023. His character began as a mysterious figure confined to a cave, before developing further in season two. 'In the first season, Nyengelezi was inside the cave and people couldn't understand who he was. But in season two we saw him leave the cave and join the Ndwandwe clan. That growth was incredible because people got to see that he was human, that he could connect and live among others,' he explained. Life beyond 'Shaka iLembe' While his journey on Shaka iLembe has ended, Mndebele said he remains busy with theatre work. 'I do a lot of theatre productions, so people will catch me on stage. Now and then I may do TV roles, but mainly it's theatre for now,' he added. NOW READ: WATCH: Former 'Uzalo' star Glen Gabela grateful as donations pour in

Ntuli had been off air since the RHODurban season five reunion, which aired on 11 July. Reality TV star and radio personality Minnie Ntuli has returned to Gagasi FM following the Real Housewives of Durban (RHODurban) bullying controversy. Ntuli had been off air since the RHODurban season five reunion, which aired on 11 July. On Tuesday, the station announced her comeback to The Uprising alongside Felix Hlophe. The announcement sparked mixed reactions on social media. Some listeners welcomed Ntuli back, while others accused the station of overlooking her behaviour. 'Kaak station, how do you bring back umntu who does bullying? It's clear you guys condone her actions. What lesson is taught to people? I'm triggered,' one comment read. Another said: 'Everyone deserves a chance. Welcome back Minnie, I personally missed you in the mornings.' Here are a few more comments from X: Weeee we will not listen *sorry nalelo para lenu — Lwazi Mazibuko (@Mazibukoh) August 18, 2025 Siyabonga; Minnie Ntuli is good at what she does🙏🏿👌🏿 — Mlalazi kaNoxhaka (@LyfeUrbanzulu) August 18, 2025 ALSO READ: 'I won't be shaken': Londie London, on THAT Minnie Ntuli incident on Real Housewives of Durban Petition to remove Minnie Ntuli from radio and TV Last month, more than 50 000 people signed a petition calling for Ntuli's removal from radio and television. The petition followed scenes in which she was allegedly seen bullying fellow cast member and musician Londie London, poking her fingers on Londie's forehead during an argument. Ntuli has since issued a public apology to Londie on social media and said she had also sent another apology privately via WhatsApp. 'Watching the show back has been deeply confronting. I am appalled by how I behaved, and I take full accountability,' she said in a statement. She added that she had engaged with Gagasi FM management about 'the negative attention her participation in the show has brought to the station'. The station also issued a statement confirming Ntuli had apologised and committed to professional support. 'While the show is independent from Gagasi FM, we acknowledge that Minnie's conduct has had an impact on both our brand and the community we serve. As a station, we are committed to supporting a process that encourages healing, forgiveness, and mutual respect.' Meanwhile, Londie shared a letter of demand on Instagram, requiring Ntuli to issue a recorded apology across all her social media platforms. Her lawyer accused Ntuli of defamation and physical assault, warning that failure to comply would lead to legal action and a criminal case with the police.
