The soapie confirmed Ndebele's return on its X account on @etvScandal on Thursday, 10 July.

"From future hubby to Rratswale? Imagine almost marrying your father? Aneva! Reggie will be back on our screens negotiating lobola for his daughter, so you can imagine the drama!"

Entertainment commentator Phil Mphela announced on his X account in 2022 that Ndebele has joined the e.tv soapie as an art tutor, Reggie.

"Oh, Didi, my girl. Love really hates you. No wonder you are settling to be a second wife, ya monna wa moZulu a senang le chelete (a broke Zulu man).

@TumeloMwale replied:

"The day the results came out, Didi cried like o tlhokafaletswe (she died), and it felt real."

"Why did you have to make Reggie Dintle's father? Even today, I still ask myself. Ha le rate ntho tse ntle, (you don't like beautiful things). You are always messing up."

"This was the Scandal before they brought a 1995 Bra Biza set."

@SebataThwaneSK responded:

"This guy and Mothusi Magano are always getting pervert roles to play. I hope that's not the case this time around. And she's marrying her father."
