Madondo came as a patient to Durban Gen, who suffers from sugar diabetes, before the staff realized that she had a secret. After Dr Zondo finds the nurses watching a viral video of a rude nurse who attacked her patient on the internet, she realizes that it's her patient. Even with her medical experience, Madondo made it hard for herself to be treated as she sneaked in prohibited food.

When she is discharged, the notorious nurse realizes the nurses' station is in chaos and tells the nurses off. Sup Qwabe, who was eavesdropping on that tell-off, offers Madondo a job on the spot. 

She starts running the hospital's nurses on a tight leash with her strict behaviour and gets things done. Many fans have wondered who this newbie on Durban Gen is and what she is like in real life.
