As reported by ZAlebs, the actress discussed her exit from Uzalo and revealed that the show decided to release her as they believed it was the appropriate time for her to move on.
“Uzalo released me because it was time for me to leave. I’m the luckiest actress. If I’m not mistaken, we are less than five actors who started when Uzalo debuted on TV screens in 2015.
“So, everyone has their time. I had my time and it was a wonderful experience. I worked with a wonderful crew and learned a lot about acting. Now it’s my time to bow out,” said the actress.
Stained Glass Production, in an official statement, reflected on Nompilo’s portrayal of Nosipho Xulu in the soapie Uzalo.
“The viewers have seen her fight with Nkunzi over her father’s estate, making Nkunzi her enemy and almost being buried alive.
“She has fallen in love over the years with a ruthless criminal called Amos, a quick stint with Mondli, abusive Njeza, and finally finding her Prince Charming in Pastor Gwala.
“She is business minded and became the mashonisa of KwaMashu and opened a business hub that created opportunities,” read the statement.
