The actress has been taking on challenging roles to broaden her versatility as an actress as previously reported by Briefly News.

In 2021, there was speculation that the actress was leaving behind her character Dintle Nyathi after being cast as Puleng for a new comedy show on SABC 2 titled Ak’siSpaza. This was not the first time the actress had taken on a comedic role, as she used to share hilarious skits on her social media pages every Friday as part of her Motlotlo Friday.

The actress recently told the Daily Sun how she has been working hard to break free from Dintle Nyathi and being typecast.

“I always strive for versatility because playing the same character for so long can be limiting. When I get a new script, I work hard to distance myself from Dintle. I pray for roles that are far removed from her, and I do extensive research to bring a fresh perspective to each character,” she said.
