Former Scandal! actress, Lusanda Mbane, who played the role of Boniswa Langa for half a decade has returned to soapville.

‘IMBEWU’S’ MAKHOSAZANA VERSUS ‘SCANDAL!’S’ BONISWA

The actress told Drum Magazine that she left Scandal! to work on her business, Zazi Zithande Zithembe, and was elated to be back on our small screens.

“Playing Makhosazana is the return I never expected. She has had me hit the ground running.”

“I played Boniswa for years and after letting go of the role, I had to mourn her.”

“Makhosazana has been a great welcome back to the screen character for me.”  

She tells the publication that she’s been playing Makhosazana for five weeks and can already tell viewers that she’s fallen in love with her.  

Makhosazana like Boniswa has no limits and has already made her go to places she never thought she would ever be made to go for a character.  

Mbane adds that her latest character makes her feel anxious and has her thinking about what her children and family are going to say when they see her.

The actress says the biggest difference between her Imbewu role and Scandal! role is that Boniswa had children and that often anchored her somehow.   

“Makhosazana akana nja akana kati (she has no cat or dog or family) and so she will do anything she needs to do without any limits.”
