The word on the street is that after over a decade playing the teenage to a very young and successful Lindiwe Ngema, Nomvelo Makhanya will be bidding farewell to the show. In a dramatic exit during an altercation that would involve shooting and guns, Lindiwe Ngema’s life will be spared on the scene, as her farewell to eTV’s long-running soapie Scandal!

Nomvelo Makhanya will be joining a handful of veteran actors and actresses that have since exited the show due to other different reasons. Recently, the show took a different direction when it introduced a handful of new yet veteran actors who have carried the show since the transition stage.
