“There have been so many unforgettable highlights in the story like when Daniel Nyathi pretended he could not walk and was then miraculously cured. Another highlight was when Abigail exploded in her car and Dintle made love to Mangi in prison. Who can forget how Quinton ripped off Thembeka’s gown to reveal her fake pregnancy tummy?”
Scandal! producer Sanele Zulu said: “Families have risen and fallen: the mighty Nyathis, the brilliant Langas, the ruthless Mambas and the beloved Ngemas. We recently refreshed our set, and introduced the Kubekas to keep the storyline relevant and provide our audiences with intriguing content. We are delighted about the reaction from our viewers."
