I'm definitely not looking to be going into any soapie work anytime soon I want to explore other things & being on a soapie won't give me the time to do what I want.

Makhanya added that if she does however join another soapie, she'll do it for a maximum period of one year.

But also, if it's part of God's plan for me to be on a soapie, I'd probably stay for 6-12 months max.

The publication adds that she's been spending time in the studio, which suggests that the 26-year-old actress may be pursuing a career as a musician.

Makhanya recently received a SAFTA for Best Supporting Actress as Ntombi in a Netflix feature film I Am All Girls.
