She played the role of a pastor’s pregnant fiance in Uzalo. Viewers now believe that she’s pregnant in real life and speculate it’s the reason Uzalo fired her. But actress Nompilo Maphumulo said she’s not expecting. She said her time is up on Uzalo and that’s why she’s being released. “I think the fake tummy that I’m wearing on set looks real and I portray the role of a pregnant woman well. That’s why people think I’m really pregnant. I’m very much not pregnant. There’s no bun in the oven here,” said Nompilo. Nompilo Maphumulo

She said that there’s no actor or actress who works for a production forever. “Uzalo released me because it was time for me 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. 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,” said Nompilo. The 40-year-old from KwaMashu, north of Durban, said she’s been asked on social media if Uzalo fired her due to pregnancy. Nompilo Maphumulo

“I just laugh off the question. But I’m glad that people are asking. I hate speculations and lies,” said Nompilo. She said viewers must wait and see how Nosipho and Pastor Gwala (Menzi Biyela) will exit the show. “Exiting storylines are usually emotional. There is a lot that will happen between Nosipho and Pastor Gwala before they go. This includes lobola negotiations. The storyline is getting interesting every day,” said Nompilo. She said Uzalo launched her career as she starred alongside popular actors such as Dawn Thandeka King, Kay Sibiya, Nay Maps, as well as Khaya Dladla. Source: News365.co.za

Manaka, Mpumi, and Dineo Ranaka didn’t talk for a year due to conflict between them. The siblings didn’t reveal why they were not on talking terms. However, they’ve reconciled and they briefly talked about the incident to Zimoja. We fight and we are not pretentious towards one another,” says Mpumi

“It would have been sad for me to get married, which is something that is happening soon without my sisters being there. So, I am happy that we have reunited,” she added.

Manaka’s mind was muddled with various questions after the three sisters were invited to be guests on Festive Get-Together in the Life Artois: “Firstly, I asked myself, why they would want the three of us; myself, Mpumi and Dineo? What do they know? Do they know besingakhulimisani? (Did they know that we were not on speaking terms) We didn’t know we would go through some healing process that we didn’t ask for,” she admits.

The actress further explained how they reunited at their dad’s 80th birthday.

” We have just started talking slightly after a year of not speaking because of our dad,” Manaka says. “God works in mysterious ways. We were not talking when my dad turned 80. We arrived, ate and at the end of the birthday lunch, we were talking. We didn’t even bicker, as one would expect. At the end of that evening, everyone was in tears, we were talking and bonding. Yes, there are some unresolved issues, but we love each other, after all, we are siblings. The sisters didn’t disclose why they were not talking, but being able to reconcile and reunite back as sisters excited them.
