She said:

"What made it easy for me to return to Muvhango was what I know the soapie itself stands for, among other things. It’s about putting marginalised people and language on a platform. I love that I get to be a part of that. Stepping back onto the set for the first time was nerve-wracking, but I’m truly grateful for the team on duty that day. They made me feel welcome."

She also mentioned that her character Lebo started as a waitress back then, and now she is a new woman who is in business. Viewers will witness her vengefulness and ambition in the current season.

Speaking to Briefly News, Elle Tisane shared more insight about her getting back on TV and reprising her old character.

She said:

"The return to Muvhango has been a positive one personally. Filled with getting to know many new faces & lots of learning & reconnecting with the craft. I’m enjoying it so far. Lebo has grown from the waitress that she used to be, she is now in business. The viewer will see how vengeful and ambitious the character is. She’s unapologetic about her goals and will not let anyone stand in her way.
"Oh wow, fans- lol, so a definite reconnection with the viewer who followed and watched Muvhango back in my days (around 13years ago, can you believe it) & also the newer followers who are about to meet Elle, the musician who is back on the to a soap she actually grew up on. I’m both grateful & excited about all that God has in store."
