According to TshisaLIVE, Mbalenhle left the Showmax show earlier this year, just as the production team Stained Glass was wrapping up filming for the third season.
Many fans who fell in love with Mbali's character considered her departure a huge loss. Every Thursday, the actress' name topped social media trends as people couldn't get enough of her portrayal of Hlomu.
“I’ve had a couple of people cry when they saw me. I think it’s because of the touching storyline that Hlomu has and how well I performed it. As much as I’m de-rolling, I think Hlomu will last in my life forever. People will always see Hlomu when they see me.”
