LUNGELO THE BEAUTIFUL BADDIE
The eHostela actress says people can expect a lot of action from her character Xoli because she has proven that she is a woman with a plan.
“What people can expect from my character is fun. Fun, fun, fun. She is free spirited. They can expect a lot of action, that is what she is about. She is a woman with a plan. She rolls with the boys and somehow, she always saves the boys. She doesn’t even speak a lot, which is what I really (like) about her. But when she opens her mouth, you know she’s going to say something really helpful,” she told the publication.

The publication notes that even though Xoli has not been with the Zulu family for a long time, she has already proven to be an asset to the Zulu brothers.
“She has shot at protesters who came to attack the family and she married her boo Sambulo (Sipho Ndlovu) in a private ceremony, where she was not dressed like a conventional bride and the family did not know until after the fact,” as per the publication.

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ACTOR AND CHARACTER
Lungelo and Xoli are world apart, according to the Lingashoni actress.
“The difference between Xoli and Lungelo is that I am a ‘girly girl’ and Xoli is brave and intelligent. Xoli does things that I don’t think I would even dream of doing, she’s brave and out there, meanwhile, Lungelo is an introvert,” she told Sunday World.
