Nelisiwe Sibiya, known for her captivating role as Mbali in Durban Gen, is set to shake things up on Scandal! as she steps into the shoes of her new character, Sanda. Beginning November 5, Sibiya’s character will bring a new dynamic to e.tv’s award-winning daily drama.
According to IOL, in a recent statement shared by e.tv, viewers got a glimpse of what to expect from Sanda, a woman returning to Thapelo’s (played by Moses Mabuza) life after years away. “Her entrance promises viewers an engaging tale that delves into unresolved conflicts while opening the door to new possibilities,” the statement reads, hinting at the twists and emotional layers in store.
Sanda returns to reconnect Thapelo with their son, Khumo, after reading about Thapelo’s recent success in the family business, Bechafela. As a fiercely protective single mother, Sanda’s decision to reintroduce Thapelo to their son is no small choice. “This is no easy decision for Sanda, who is a fiercely protective single mother who has worked hard to provide a strong foundation for her son. With deep love and unwavering commitment, she has instilled discipline and kindness in Khumo, ensuring he grows up with solid values,” the channel’s statement adds.
The storyline promises a fresh look at the complexities of co-parenting and redemption.
