Viewers predict the actress will not be returning though neither the show nor the actress has confirmed her exit.
Du Pont played the villainous character of Lelo Mthiyane for over five seasons before joining BET'S telenovela, Isono in November 2020 to play the role of Mamba.
She went AWOL when her on-screen lover; Lehasa Maphosa (Cedric Fourie) wanted to get her arrested.
Lehasa has now moved on and he's involved with Nothile, played by seasoned actress, Mbali Mavimbela.

It now appears as though the production company has replaced Langa's character with former Lithapo actress Lorraine Moropa.
Moropa joined the show on Kea's death anniversary on the telenovela and plays the role of Olerato.
Moropa's character is similar to Langa's character, talks the same language, and has similar features to Kea Khoza.
She is Harriet Khoza's (Connie Ferguson) niece on the show and already has the Khoza matriarch wrapped around her finger.
Harriet thinks of her as her second daughter on the show and even stated that she doesn't want to lose Olerato like Kea.

MUVHANGO': BELINDA REPLACED' TEBOHO (left) Liteboho Molise as Teboho and Tebogo Thobejane as Belinda. Images via Twitter @MuvhangoSA Actress Liteboho Molise, who played the role of the villainous, Teboho Mukwevho for nearly a decade, left Muvhango in April for 1Magic's Lingashoni.
Her on-screen husband, Mulalo Mukwevho (Sydney Ramakuela) has now fallen in love with Tebogo Thobejane's character, Belinda.
The actresses have similar features, speak the same language and even at times wear the similar clothes.
The TVSA December teasers have also revealed that Mulalo will get closer to Belinda as he wants a relationship with her.
The teasers also reveal that Teboho will threaten Belinda's life from prison when she finds out that her husband has fallen in love with her.
Belinda is a threat to Teboho because she's won her husband's heart and she's fond of their son.
SCANDAL': NHLAMULO REPLACED' ROMEO (left) Mathews Rantsoma as Nhlamulo and Hungani Ndlovu as Romeo. Images via Twitter @etvScandal Scandal! viewers took to social media to express how unimpressed they were when fan-favourite actor Hungani Ndlovu exited the soapie in 2020.
Fans called for the show's producers to bring back Hungani Ndlovu who played the role of Romeo Medupe.
It appears the show has replaced him with Mathews Rantsoma, who plays the character of Nhlamulo.
Rantsoma and Ndlovu look alike and their characters are so similar they could pass off as brothers on-screen.
Nhamulo is an intelligent forex trader married to Lindiwe, while Romeo was an IT genius, married to Xolile.
