She returned in 2015 for another installment of eKasi: Our Stories, "uManqoba," and also made a guest appearance as Fundiswa in the first season of Saints and Sinners, later becoming a recurring character in season two.
From 2015 to 2016, Thahane rose to prominence with her role as Enhle Tango on the SABC1 soap opera Skeem Saam.

Personal Life
Over the years, the popular actress Natasha Thahane has been linked to various men, though some of these alleged relationships have turned out to be mere rumors. In 2019, she was rumored to be in a relationship with South African rapper, songwriter, and record producer A-Reece after appearing in one of his music videos. However, neither Natasha nor A-Reece ever confirmed the relationship, and the actress later dismissed the speculation.
In early 2021, reports surfaced that Natasha was dating an unnamed American man, a relationship she confirmed without disclosing his identity. Later in 2021, rumors began circulating on social media that Natasha was romantically involved with Orlando Pirates winger Thembinkosi Lorch after the two were spotted vacationing together. While neither publicly confirmed their relationship, it’s widely speculated that Lorch is the father of Natasha’s child.
The relationship between Thahane and Lorch has been clouded in mystery since these dating rumors first emerged. Some reports suggest that the two broke up after allegations that Lorch had cheated on her with a woman named Thandi Make, reportedly while Thahane was pregnant. Despite these allegations, Natasha publicly wished Lorch well on his birthday long after the rumored incident. Lorch also later posted a photo with a heart emoji and the phrase "beke le beke," meaning "week after week," fueling further speculation.
In early 2022, Natasha shared photos of her baby bump on social media. By May 2022, she posted a photo captioned "iMama," leading to assumptions that she had given birth. Since then, she has kept details about her child private.
