NOMVELO MAKHANYA: I'M STILL VERY YOUNG' The 26-year-old actress Nomvelo Makhanya tells Daily Sun that she had a great time playing Lindiwe in the e.tv soapie Scandal!

Surely people didn't expect me to stay in one space for more than 10 years, did they? I'm still very young. There are a lot of places and things I want to explore. Nothing but greener pastures.

The past 10 years for me have been amazing. Scandal! gave me a platform to showcase my talent and I'll forever be grateful. I had so much fun, and I learned a lot and had so much fun. I got to work with legends. It's been nothing but a privilege.
