Life after Scandal!

The actor Mathews Rantsoma reveals in an interview with Sowetan that life after leaving e.tv's soapie hasn't been easy.

“Life after leaving Scandal! was difficult. If I were to paint a picture of how [the past year] was, it would be a dark-coloured A2 canvas with a very colourful spot at the centre. There is so much darkness around it but it keeps moving in.”

Rantsoma has joined the third and final season of Adulting with fan-favourite Scandal! actress Mapaska Koetle.

The actor also reveals that he isn't really fully back on screen as the Showmax role is small.

The duo will star opposite Adulting actors Thembinkosi Mthembu, Nhlanhla Kunene, Thabiso Rammusi and Luthando “BU” Mthembu.
