Former Skeem Saam actress Shoki Mmola ‘Celia Kunutu’ joins Scandal. Shoki Mmola, previously known for her role in Skeem Saam, has recently joined the Scandal cast as Reverend Prudence Molepo.
In the latest development from the channel, Reverend Prudence Molepo has made a dramatic entrance into the world of Scandal. Known for her unwavering devotion to the faith, the Reverend presents herself as a paragon of virtue, but behind her moral high ground lie hidden flaws.
As a strict mother figure, the Reverend holds her children to the highest standards, and failure is not an option. In her eyes, her offspring are nothing short of divine, being birthed by a woman moulded in the image of God herself.
When the Reverend enters the scene as Vuvu’s mother, she quickly takes a keen interest in the well-being of Nhlamulo and Vuvu’s children. However, her devout beliefs clash with Vuvu’s sexuality, causing the Reverend to write her off completely. With unshakeable conviction, the Reverend believes that Vuvu and Nhlamulo are not fit to raise their children and seeks to take them under her wing.
This latest twist comes after Shoki’s departure from Skeem Saam in 2021, where she played a prominent role for an impressive two decades. The SABC confirmed her exit in a statement, leaving fans eagerly anticipating her next move. And now, we can all witness her mesmerizing performance as the complex and intriguing Reverend Prudence Molepo on Scandal.”Boasting a whopping 26 years of her television career, Mmola has been playing the character of ‘Celia’ on Skeem Saam for 10 years and in that role has been one of show’s lead actresses, contributing to its accomplishments over the past decade. Always keeping fans entertained, Mmola has portrayed the character of ‘Celia’ impeccably,” reads the statement.
