A source close to Khunou tells the publication that she’s only shared the good news with her family and close friends.
“Things were conducted hush-hush. Even their meeting was conducted in a private room. They were finalising small details of her contract. Even her soon-to-be bosses are eagerly waiting to see her on the soapie,” adds the source.
The former Isono actress is the latest star to join the soapie after Champions actress Kgomotso Christopher.
