Angel first stole our hearts as Zethu on Uzalo, but it was her portrayal of Nomkhosi, the ambitious wife of Khulekani Mthembu, that truly put her on the map. With her knack for playing complex characters, she quickly became a fan favorite, and her on-screen antics kept viewers glued to their screens.

Currently, Nomkhosi and her husband Khulekani are involved in some intriguing storylines, including forming a breakaway church led by Khulekani’s brother, Siphamandla Mthembu, played by Nay Maps. So, it’s safe to say that her departure comes at a pivotal moment in the plot. As the insider mentioned, “I am not sure how they are going to play this one out because she did not leave under a cloud. She might come back and shoot her exit scenes properly.”
Portia Hlongwane, publicist for Mzansi Magic, confirmed that Angel is indeed heading to Canada for this incredible opportunity. She stated, “She is excited for the opportunity… viewers can continue to see her on screen.” So, for those worried about missing Angel, fear not!
