That’s the truth, that’s the truth. I was actually thinking about it the other day and I was like ‘actually fuck it’ I am so tired of it being me. I am so tired of catching all the smoke. It wasn’t me, it wasn’t my choice” said Nomvelo Makhanya
Makhanya also reveals that her exit from the Scandal! was all God’s plan because she has been praying for it to come to an end. Even though she also emphasizes that it was never her choice to leave. However, leaving the show was something that she has been praying on for far too long.
It was God’s plan though, Imma tell you that for real, coz I have been praying but it wasn’t my choice. But if you can understand those two things, that choice mekungasiyona eyami but isenzo sankulunkulu, imkhuleko mekweyami. I have been wanting to leave, I have been wanting to leave that place. For me it was something I have been praying about. When it finally happened it really really felt like God was removing me from that toxic, toxic environment” said Nomvelo Makhanya
We often hear artists ending up taking their own lives because of many reason that happens in the industry. However, for Makhanya to hint that there was a very high chance of her killing herself because of her acting career and being on Scandal!, that is true testament that a lot goes behind closed doors as a result of artists ending up committing suicides.
“Ngicishe ngafa and I am sure bengizophuma ebhokisini, I probably would have killed myself, I probably. There was an eighty… ninety percent chance, that’s how toxic that place was” said Nomvelo Makhanya
Makhanya breaking her silence has put a number of rumors to rest, including that she prioritized her relationship for her career. The SAFTA award-winning actress is not planning on going back to acting anytime soon, as she also revealed on the Instagram live.
“I’m definitely not looking to be going into any soapie work anytime soon…I want to explore other things & being on a soapie won’t give me the time to do what I want. But also, if it’s part of God’s plan for me to be on a soapie, I’d probably stay for 6-12 months max” said Nomvelo Makhanya
