Zandile's bio from the show:

The life she's led over the past few years has forced her to be a kept woman. She's become a mistress to a very wealthy man who she's lured into her life using muthi and her world is about to be turned upside down when the man’s wife finds out about her.

Zandile sets a new plan in motion and her new target is none other than Nkululeko Bhengu, son of Zimele Bhengu, her ex-lover.

With her new target acquired Zandile decides to up the stakes and opts to use something much more permanent and stronger than her current muthi, so that she never has to find herself in the same situation where the power of the muthi diminishes.

So with the help of her Inyanga, Zandile is given a snake, which will grant her all the wealth she desires on one condition: she takes very good care of the snake and meets all its sinister demands.

According to Buhle, she's not returning as Zandile because she doesn't want to play a gold digger again.

Her tweets:

Hi Phil

1. I was not fired
2. Would be nice if you verified such stories that paint one as “fired”
3. The truth, I declined the offer. I didn’t want to play a gold digger again. I’d like to challenge myself production knew that but still wrote a gold digger role.

I keep quiet about so much,I hate how people project their stereotypes on me.I read things and I’m just like oh wow really! Really?! It irks me.

I was also “fired” from my last job! A job I left because I felt I needed growth and didn’t feel it was possible in that environment. Next thing I’m labeled hard to work with “a diva”
I have never been that person people in any production I have worked with can attest to this!
