Pictures: Where did Scandal actor Simo Magwaza ‘Mamba’ disappear to?
Last year, a mass exodus of actors on Scandal rocked the prime-time Television show as ratings and viewership dropped. Among the cast members who were part of the mass exodus is Simo Magwaza, who played Mamba in the eTV show. Towards the end of 2021, the showrunners announced that a new family would join the series. These were the explanations they gave fans for the exit of a handful of seasoned actors on the show.
Simo as Mamba in Scandal
Mamba was a feared gangster in the show who turned into a politician towards the end. He fell prey to the tricks of a woman who wanted him for his position and money named Boniswa. Mamba realized that his wife, Boniswa, was sleeping with his right man, Gorbavech, leading to his downfall and death. After he died, Boniswa tried to get the inheritance he had left for his daughter, leading to her ultimate demise.
Simo Magwaza, who plays the role of Mamba, was not seen again on the show since his exit. He left with Lusanda Mbane, Ayanda Nzimande, Brighton Ngoma and more actors. Other actors that were part of the mass exodus have managed to secure gigs after their exit, and many of Simo’s fans are wondering where he is as he has been silent on Television. However, the actor does not have social media accounts, and it’s hard to tell his day-to-day life.
