SCANDAL!': HER ROLE AS LINDIWE NGEMA Viewers of the e.tv soapie first met her as the daughter of Mlungisi Ngema (played by Lingashoni actor Patrick Mofokeng) and Zinzile Ngema (played by eHostela actress Gcina Nkosi).
Her character is now a successful businesswoman and she's married to Nhlamulo, played by talented actor Mathews Phosa.
Her character made headlines in January this year when she and her husband both cheated on each other within a year of being married.
Her husband Nhlamulo accidentally killed her father, Mlungisi Ngema who reappeared on the show last month after exiting the show for over a year.
The actress has appeared in stage plays such as The Bald Prima Donn, African Reflections, and Maybe This Time and also acted in TV shows such as Isibaya and Soul City, according to the publication.
Makhanya also appeared in Netflix's I Am All Girls as Ntombi, alongside former Isidingo actress Hlubi Mboya and Leshego Molokwane.
