Ayanda as Aya Mamba on Scandal
The actress took on the role of Aya, the youngest child of a drug dealer and dangerous criminal called Mamba, who was naive and easily manipulated. She was also intelligent and sometimes would dress up for investigations when she thought something was amiss. However, her family problems kept coming because of people who wanted to get a piece of her father’s fortune.

When her father died, she was left with his whole estate as the only beneficiary, and that’s when her stepmother devised a plan to kill her and get everything. Aya got kidnapped by goons that Boniswa, her stepmother, had hired. Still, after escaping them, she gave the police information she had heard in her captivity, leading to the arrest of Boniswa and ultimately the Mamba family’s exit from the show.
