The United Kingdom (UK) based thespian took to Instagram recently to express her gratitude in a lengthy post that details her struggle in renewing her dual citizenship passport which had recently expired.
"My friends, thank you for all your support. The fight to get my South African passport renewed has finally been won!" she said.
"This was a long road for something so simple. All South Africans who hold dual citizenships should not be punished for cruel events that led us here in the first place," said the seasoned actress.
She continued to thank all those who extended a helping hand in her pursuit and how this has opened a "dialogue at government level to revisit a process that is clearly flawed".
"Thank you for speaking out with me. It seems we were heard by Home Affairs in South Africa and this is opening a dialogue at government level to revisit a process that is clearly flawed.
"Thank you South Africa for leading the way," she said.
Nomvete had initially lamented on social media how she was being sent from pillar to post by government officials to renew her dual citizenship passport.
"This year my South African passport expired and now I am trying to renew it. I am literally being told all over again to prove my South African citizenship and produce my late parents' documents.
"In 1994 I went to my ancestral land South Africa having been in exile and acquired my South African citizenship so I could vote for a black majority government. The South African government welcomed us exiles, happy for us to hold dual citizenship," the actress had said.
Nomvete's claim to fame was the villainous character of Ntsiki Lukhele - which everybody loved to hate - during the heydays of the long running South African soapie, Generations, in the early 1990s.
