She says that viewers are about to see a different side of her character, Akhona, who's never been lucky in love.

--

Akhona is self-aware and very independent and doesn't have luck when it comes to men.

The new storyline is really going to surprise them.

We will have a new face on the show Lebo Msiza, who will play Clive, but it is all I can say for now.

Lebo is amazing to work with and our viewers can expect to be blown away.

Mkangisa who is also a model and a DJ says music is something she's always been interested in but was was a bit reserved about.

It's so liberating. When I started deejaying I wondered why I didn't start it sooner.

I love music but I can't sing so I thought that being a deejay is the closest thing.

It's a lot of fun but it's also challenging.
