Speaking to IOL Entertainment, she talked about her newest character and also expressed her excitement about being on the show.
“I’m really excited to be playing Nozinyo. She’s a mystery, she’s full of intrigue. Unpredictable, just when you think she’s going to do something, she does something else. She will take you by surprise and do the unpredictable.
“It’s a challenge, it’s something that demands me to be fully present. I really wish to explore… and find more layers to the character.
“It is my wish to continue doing this role for a while and I love being on the set of ‘Imbewu’. There's something about that set that is really warm. Everybody has been showing me love. I really appreciate being there. I was only on the set for seven days but it was great and I look forward to more calls,” said Mkhize.
