Previously speaking to Briefly News, SABC's PR Specialist, Caroline Phalakatshela, gave insight into what viewers can expect from Namhla's return.

She said:

"Namhla is ambitious, intelligent, cunning, slightly aloof, and fiercely independent. Namhla has a complicated relationship with her parents, Lucy Diale and Jack Mabaso. She loves Lucy deeply, but their relationship has always been a tough one to navigate. Jack, on the other hand, wants to groom Namhla so that she can move into his world, which is a world that Namhla is intrigued by.

"Namhla's time overseas has wrought a remarkable change. No longer the gawky, geeky, shy, and awkward teenager who left, she returns a worldly and confident young woman, sure of her talents and yearning for a grand life, which she envisions with Jack."
