According to Citizen article published on the 1st of July 2021 says ”When i was tasked with Nyakallo’s character and her description i tried to dissect and understand it fully because that is what brings forth to our television screens. I tried dissecting every letter of her name and i could say each letter represented her characteristics and that’s how i brought her to life”, she said.
The actress told the citizen that she enjoyed playing the character because it gave South African couples something to discuss about their own relationship. The 22 year old said ” I’ll use marriage as an example of a theme from the telenovela ,because today in marriages we find out that woman are not being submissive compared to the older days. With Nyakallo, she does what women in the olden days did which is extreme , she makes sure that Ntate Zweli’s hands are washed before eating, putting food on the table with care.” she said.
