Talented Masasa Mbangeni, known as Thembeka Shezi on etv’s Scandal, is leaving the soapie after years of being on our television screens. Thembeka, who was capable of making anyone believe what she said no matter how ridiculous it sounded, has confirmed her sad exit from the show.
In the soapie, we never heard much about her family, except that Lucas Nyathi did something bad to her father back in their time. Since then, she turned into a bitter and manipulating woman, even manipulating the man she claimed to love, Quinton Nyathi, how he fell for it, we have no idea, guess love is blind!
Thembeka even had real mother-in-law problems because Quinton’s mother, Layla, hated her. But, because she is Thembeka, Layla was always put under control.
One of her followers on Twitter could not believe the news, however, Masasa confirmed, she tweeted:
It's true my Lovely. Thank you for all your tweets and messages and support. I appreciate it. https://t.co/s9gp1m5ZTu
