Nombulelo told Daily Sun that on Scandal! she is playing a different character as a decent wife, similar to the one she played on Uzalo as Nomcebo.I have relocated from Durban to Joburg to focus on my character on Scandal! and I hope people will continue to give love.
“There is also something coming on Netflix where I will be playing something different. I ask my fans to stay tuned and not disown me when they watch that character I will be just playing,” she said.
