“The moment I saw the layers I had to peel back for Nyakallo, I knew Camilla was the perfect person to help me navigate this mammoth journey. We worked extensively on unravelling Nyakallo this season,” says the star.
Makamu also reveals that she reached out to Waldman to get a glimpse of her iconic Generations character Anne.
The actress adds that her character has never loved Tlali, even in the first season. Nyakallo uses Tlali as a means to an end.
"At the core of her storyline, she’s still wounded by what Leruo didn’t give her. She’s carrying unresolved anger, and she’ll do anything to provoke him or reclaim control," she adds.
The streaming platform previously shared a clip on its X account of Makamu's portrayal of the villainous role.
Outlaws fans react to the season's storyline
@LineoSehloho said:
"Yoh... the plot gets worse every week. I'm so sorry, but I can't watch Tladi try to take over Lesotho every week. Even our favorite couple is in tatters. No love story, no Sihle and Leruo, no Nolwandle. What is going on? What are we watching?"

"Ey, at this point, I was expecting Bandile to seek revenge or Mthunzi to go get Buang. Just plot twist after plot twist."
@mohohlo_lerato responded:
"Nyakallo really loves her sister bathong."
@VibingVentures reacted:
"Went back to watch S1, can't believe Nyakallo used to look so basic. I love this new version of her in S2."
@iamwacko_demon said:
"Nyakallo is seething with anger at the thought of Tlali having a second wife."
@leendiwe replied:
"I have a bone to pick with the writers of Outlaws. This Nolwandle thing. Where are her parents? Why are they not there to comfort Bandile? Why are they not involved in funeral arrangements?"
