Look who is back in Scandal

"It's good to be back again" PLUS what happens to Stan

TELEVISION and film actor Luthuli Dlamini is back in the e.tv soapie Scandal after a two-year break.

Dlamini, who portrays business mogul Stan Nyathi, will start appearing on television on December 14.

He disappeared from the small screes when his character went to England, leaving his brother Daniel - Sello Maake kaNcube - in charge of the business.

Dlamini says the return of Stan will stir things up for Daniel, who is enjoying the power at the moment.

"Daniel has been enjoying power alone and the return of Stan will limit his freedom."

Born in Zimbabwe and raised in England, Dlamini moved to South Africa after finishing school to estab-lish himself as an actor.

He says his return to the soapie is well-timed.

"It is good to be back again and see old friends and cast members," he says. "I see Rami Chuene is also back. I am already enjoying myself. I took a break to focus on others things. I have been acting in films and a drama series. I have been writing a lot but my projects have not received enough funding."

While in England Stan discovered that he was not the father of his only son, Mangi, whom he raised. His brother Daniel fathered Mangi.

Dlamini says things will be difficult for Stan as he tries to find his feet and make sense of everything that is happening.

The talented actor has made numerous television appearances in shows such as Drum, Snitch, Generations, Isidingo, Justice For All and The Res, before landing the lead role in Scandal.

He has played the leading role of Tombo Mbuli in the M-Net sitcom The Coconuts. Early this year he starred in the green consumerism show Greenline, on SABC3.
