After playing the role of Nosipho Xulu for over eight years, Nompilo Maphumulo bid her farewell to fans of SABC 1’s hit show, Uzalo.

She expressed her sincerity to her supporters in an Instagram post.

According to the Daily Sun, Nompilo stated that the reason for her departure is because it was her time to leave. “I’m the luckiest actress. If I’m not mistaken, we are less than five actors who started when Uzalo debuted on TV screens in 2015. So, everyone has their time.”
She continued, “I had my time and it was a wonderful experience. I worked with a wonderful crew and learnt a lot about acting. I have my achievements due to acting on Uzalo. Now it’s my time to bow out.”
