She played a starring role as Nandi Mkhize in the drama series. Her character in <em>The Black Door<\/em> is book-smart and graduated from Stellenbosch&#8217;s Business School. She is the only child of her parents and the apple of her father&#8217;s eye.<\/p>\n<p>Though she wanted to move out of Emalahleni to be independent after her internship, she met and fell in love with Khaya Sokhulu (<a href=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/zamani-mbathas-biography-age-and-net-worth\/\">Zamani Mbatha<\/a>) while working at a factory. Their relationship faced serious challenges as Nandi&#8217;s father, Frans Mkhize (Siphiwe Nkosi), was against her choice of man after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pressreader.com\/south-africa\/tv-plus-south-africa\/20220630\/282041920811030\">finding out<\/a> that Khaya was the sex worker at The Black Door brothel, with whom he was romantically involved.<\/p>\n<p>Khaya&#8217;s family also wanted him to marry his late brother&#8217;s wife, Nolitha (Sibulele Ntlebi), after she revealed that Khaya was the father of her child. Upon hearing the news of his brother&#8217;s demise and how he was forcefully enrolled as a sex worker to clear his brother&#8217;s debt to the brothel&#8217;s owner, Mam Rebecca (Linda Sebezo), Khaya Sokhulu was overwhelmed by emotions, which made him get drunk.<\/p>\n<p>Nolitha then saw an opportunity to seduce him and later fell pregnant for him. Though she affirmed to have aborted the pregnancy before moving back home to Eastern Cape, she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etv.co.za\/scoop\/black-door-nolitha-returns\">returned<\/a> to the Sokhulu family with a baby bump, citing Khaya as her baby daddy. The turn of events caused a rift between Khaya and the love of his life, Nandi, but they later patched things up.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\"><strong>The Role Fetched Her Many Award Nominations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Coux5xmN7Xv\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
