PICTURE: X/ BONGILE MANTSAI
Multi-award-winning actor, Bongile Mantsai will grace the screens of Mzansi once more as he joins the cast of ETV Scandal! to reprise his infamous character as Mthunzi Mayiza.
The channel left social media buzzing when they confirmed the return of Bongile and announced the new characters that will join the cast. Mthunzi started off as charismatic and charming. However, he turned out to be a chameleon who changed depending on each person he met. It was later revealed that Mthunzi yearned revenge on the Langa family because he believed that they killed his father.
In the process, he inflicted pain on so many people and ended up killing the Langa patriarch who was played by Hlomla Dandala. His last appearance on Scandal! saw chickens coming to roost for him, when his crimes caught up with him, leading to his arrest.

On the clip shared by etv Scandal! on their Instagram page, Mthunzi is being released from prison and he expects Nhloso who is played by Kwenzo Ngcobo to return the favour, as he was protecting him in prison. He also made it clear that he would be coming for everything that belonged to him before his arrest.
Among the new characters that will join the drama series in unlocking new stories, there are seasoned actors such as Owen Sejake who will join the cast as Sammy Day, Bongani Gumede as Ephraim, Khutjo Green as Kedibone, Write Ngubeni as Botsotso, Danny De Bruyne as De Wet as well as Bothlale ‘Nia Brown’ Baitsiwe who will portray the character of Tshidi.
