LINDIWE IS SHATTERED
Scandal!’s Lindiwe (Mvelo Makhanya) is not coping with the fact that her husband, Nhlamulo killed her father, Mlungisi.
- She’s also kept the death of her father a secret from the rest of the family.
- The cracks started to show in their marriage on Christmas Day when she cried for her father and realised that he destroyed her family.
- They’re constantly at war with each other right now because she can’t cope with the secret anymore.
- She loves her husband but knows that she’ll be implicated if she turns him in.
NHLAMULO IS TOXIC
Mlungisi never approved of Nhlamulo because of his criminal life and thought that Lindiwe deserved better than him.
- He is a retired forex trader who left Scandal! female fans weak-kneed.
- He charmed fans with his lingo and earned the nickname “Kasi Shakespeare”.
- His old boss, Mdala has also returned from prison and is making his life, a living hell.
- Nhlamulo snitched on his boss and he’s now scared for his life because his boss wants revenge.
- Mdala (James Sithole) offered Lindiwe a boss and she’s accepted the offer against her husband’s blessing.
Lindiwe is rebelling because she doesn’t care about Nhlamulo anymore and realises that her father was right about him.
