FANS can expect more drama from Nandi Gumede on Isitha: The Enemy season four.
Actress Sibonginkosi Tenza, who plays the controversial character, said she's excited to see Nandi growing and standing her ground this season.
"There's more drama coming with Nandi. This year I'm excited to see her character growing and being able to stand up for herself," she said.
The 26-year-old actress from Pietermaritzburg, in the KZN Midlands, has spoken about her challenges in playing the character.
She told Daily Sun one of the biggest challenges is that she's afraid to take risks.
She said another challenge is that she does too much preparation and gets ready for the set. But sometimes she ends up not doing everything she prepared and blames herself afterwards.

"I've many ways to prepare myself for the set. Sometimes, I feel like I do too much because I break down every single bit and I'll break down every single word in the script and add emotions in my scenes.
"It was difficult because sometimes I feel like I dropped the ball. There're times when I could have done just a little bit more. As soon as they say cut, I'll think that I should have done more and that it'd have been better than what I did. Sometimes, I'm afraid to take risks," she said.
Sibonginkosi plays one of the characters who joined the show in 2022 when it was called The Black Door.
She grew with it after the show's spin-off to Isitha: The Enemy.
Her character was one of the most controversial and dramatic on Season3. She's expected to deliver more drama during Season4 which airs on e.tv weekdays.
Despite the challenges, she said it's been an amazing journey on Isitha.
It's where she started her acting career after she did auditions in her hometown, Pietermaritzburg, in 2022.
"It's been a humbling experience to be in the industry as there were many things I didn't expect and there're many things I've achieved. The way I've grown is something I didn't think would happen, or that I'd become the type of person I am today.
"I'm excited to see what's coming next, but so far, so good," she said.
She added that she enjoys her dramatic scenes, especially those with Rebecca (Linda Sebenzo). That's where she feels most challenged, she said.
