Former Uzalo actress Nelisa Mchunu told Daily Sun that she enjoyed playing the villain character but it was crazy.

Mchunu also compared her current role to her breakout role in SABC1’s soapie Uzalo as the fun-loving Fikile:
“The way I acted was pretty much the same but obviously, I had to channel different things because the characters are different. That was the only change, channeling different energies.”
She adds that she used the same mantra and the same way of getting into character. Season two of Isifiso will air on 10 April 2023 on Mondays at 8 pm on Mzansi Magic.
