Lerato Nxumalo ends acting hiatus

Nearly a year since announcing her exit from Scandal! to focus on being a content creator, Lerato Nxumalo is returning to our screens after the announcement of a new show.

Mzansi Magic telenovela, Genesis, featuring stars like Baby Cele, Buyile Mdladla and Nay Maps, has just announced Nxumalo as its latest entry into its star-studded cast.

The YouTuber shared the great news on her Instagram page ahead of her debut.

Before this announcement, Lerato dedicated her time to growing her following and perfecting her skills as a content creator. She recently celebrated a YouTube milestone after passing 100K subscribers.

Not only that, but the beauty also announced her engagement to her mystery man towards the end of 2024.

The couple has caught their fair share of side-eyes and shade from social media users throughout their relationship, including the time Lerato was blasted after it was rumoured that her fiancé was a married man.
