Muvhango dominated the trends list this weekend and this time for good reasons. For the past few months the popular SABC 2 soapie has been in the news for all the reasons. The soap started to trend as speculations over the future of Muvhango gained traction. The speculation was over whether the news of the soapie coming to an end were true or not.

However, the show’s creator and executive producer, Duma Ndlovu has been adamant that the speculations are untrue and unfounded. It was suggested that Ndlovu has categorically stated that news reports should rather focus on spreading unfounded rumors about other soapies on the channel, and not Muvhango.Now it seems that it is true what Ndlovu said as the soapie proved that it can dominate the trends list. The reason is the addition of a new character by the name of Belinda Mofokeng. The character is a celebrity wedding that is well sought after. While the character could have been played by any number of actresses, in a true Muvhango fashion they chose a specific actress by the name of Tebogo Thobejane.

Before we get to the tea of the situation, let us first discuss Thobejane’s credentials. The actress is not just an aspiring actress with a dream just to support her passion, but she is an AFDA graduate. One thing about Muvhango is that it will hire an actress with some acting educational background. It is one of the things that Ndlovu prides himself with when speaking about the caliber of his actors.

But Thobejane captured audience’s attention as soon as she walked to the lift during her cameo over her posterior. The sight led many social media users to do a quick Instagram search, and just like that Tebogo Thobejane was the reason that the soapie trended. All it took was for people to see that her voluptuous body was real too have the soapie possibly enlisting new audiences that will certainly watch the soapie this coming week.

But Thobejane only follows a long list of beautiful women that have graced the Muvhango set. In the past there have been actresses like Phindile Gwala-Ngandu, Buhle Samuels, and Simphiwe Ngema. These actresses all got their foot in the industry through Muvhango and their beauty and bodies have been matters of fascination ever since.

Scandal actor Romeo Medupe’s new contract makes him one of the highest-paid actors in South Africa. Celebrated South African actor Hungani Ndlovu who plays Romeo Medupe on etv’s hit soapie Scandal made headlines last year with his shocking exit. The cheerful star exit from Scandal took Mzansi by surprise and many are still connecting the dots in regards to his exit

But however, with fans threatening to reject the show and a sharp decline of viewers in the last quarter Scandal was left with no option but to bring back the champion. Romeo has been brought back to the cast and Mzansi is excited and awaits for the drama to unfold. Rumour had it that his exit came in the backdrop of an upshot with the production team.

However, Ndlovu also felt that he was being targeted by some people in the production, and he just wanted to make things easy for them by resigning from the soapie. Moreover, for late Ndlovu, felt unappreciated at Scandal despite being the star actor. It’s not the first time for Scandal to be caught off guard by shocking resignations. It now seems as if Hungani Ndlovu and the production team have reached an agreement.

Rumour reaching out from close sources from Scandal has it that the star actor has been offered a rewarding big-money contract. Before his much-talked-about shocking exit saga, the star actor was being paid between R65 000 and R80 000 per month.No doubt that he would feel unappreciated since he was the face of the daily hit soapie. His new contract deal with Scandal seems to be one of the big-money moves of 2021. Rumour has it that Romeo Medupe will now be earning at least between R85 000 and R100 000 per month. However, Romeo salary won’t be fixed rather it will be determined by variables such as time on scenes and character impact on the storyline.
