In November 2021, Thuli said she was happy to be part of the show.
“I’m glad you guys have finally met Lerato! What a job she is, oh but I love her! You just never see her coming because she hides her layers well but everything she does, she does with intent… things get quite interesting! Happy to be a part of a phenomenon that’s Hlomu: The Wife, enjoying the cast so much!!! An original, a love story with a twist… thank you for the opportunity,” she said.
