-- NHLAPO'S CHARACTER Nompi's complicated relationship with her daughter, Fikile will see tensions rise and will drop a few bombshells about her daughter.

--

The actress will make her full debut on Monday (18 October) though viewers of the show already had a sneak peek of Nompi on Wednesday night (13 October).

Nompi and Zandi are opposites of one another from a parenting perspective, Nhlapo said.

Nompi is hard-hearted, bordering on mean, and has a rather boxed' way of doing things, maybe because she's had to live with this damning truth buried deep inside of her for so long.

She also told the publication that she is looking forward to getting deeper into her character though the emotional scenes were hard and emotionally taxing for her.

She also stated that she is appreciative of the opportunity as it made her revisit how she is parenting her daughters every day.
