Etv’s hit soapie Scandal has wowed us for years and its still one of the most followed drama series in Mzansi. We can all agree that if there is a soapie with a plug its Scandal and it knows well how to keep us glued on our screens.
Definitely, its storylines make the cut and the intriguing storyline leaves a lot to be desired. The drama and thrills keep us at the edge of our couches guessing what might happen next.
Manipulation, lies, deceit and blood spilling is always on the agenda when these villains are around and viewers love it.
With its seasoned cast, the drama always outshines. We take a look at some of the villains from Scandal! and how they worm their way to the top.
Thembeka Shezi
The vivacious actress exited the hit soapie with a bang. She was one of the most followed cast members. Masasa Mbangeni played the feisty Thembeka Shezi. She is the character we hate to love. Thembeka managed to worm her way to the top through emotional blackmailing.
Even the fearless Mayisa was her victim, as for Boniswa lets leave it for another day. Of all the characters on Scandal, it seems as if she exited without going toe to toe with Romeo Medupe played by Hungani Ndlovu.
Scandal’s most iconic villains of all time
Shakira Nyathi
If beauty with brains was a person Shakira would be the typical example of that. Dawn Matthews played the character role of Shakira on the etv’s hit soapie. Despite her husband being evil she was never a shadow of that but she was the devil himself.
She was married to the most feared and deadly man in town Lucas Nyathi. Back then when her family was behind bars seduction was her lethal weapon to get whatever she wanted.
Lucas Nyathi
The mighty Nyathi can be likened to Jack Mabaso in his way of handling business. Who could forget his rival wars with Neo? The two were always at loggerheads and war was always the answer to settle their differences.
He dodged bullets and cheated death more than we can all remember and that’s why he is one of the iconic Scandal’s villains of all time. He was once nabbed for the attempted murder of the monstrous Neo Mokheti. Scandal! took a risk with their prison storyline and nailed it.
Mthunzi Mayisa
Safta award-winning actor Bongile Mantsai played the character role of Mthunzi Mayisa. Just like those before him he used fake identities to run away from the arm of the law. He teamed up with Thembeka Shezi to bring down the Langa’s.
He is best known and remembered for waging a war and killing Siseko Langa played by Hlomla Dandala after being kidnapped by him. To make matters worse he went own to marry her daughter Xolile in a bid to strip off Langa’s legacy.
