"Who is Mthunzi without Boniswa’s family mara…Next thing you’ll tell us, Boniswa didn’t jump off or she survived and faked her death also?"

@Jikingqina said:

"Wow, that would be great. @etvScandal lacks the quality of excellent actors as it did before. This show lacked that thing of Hlaudi."

@shireenhlalele commented:

"We need Romeo or Nhlamulo back. Yho this guy bores me. Did you see what happened at Gqeberha: The Empire when he joined the soapie? Khuzekani."

@Skazzi_2G said:

"I knew it! I knew someone new was coming, I bet he’s the guy buying Uthuli Waste. Can’t lie I’m not mad at this at all."

What you need to know about Bongile Mantsai

Most actors are associated with the characters they tend to play. In most cases, Bongile Mantsai managed to bag villainous characters. In light of this, fans have been left speculating that he most likely has the same character in real life. However, this is far from the truth.

The actor attended Kayamandi High School. After this, he decided to study drama and pursue an acting career. Although he had the passion, he flopped as SU only required Afrikaans, and he was not familiar with the language. Nonetheless, this did not demotivate him from pursuing his dream career. Instead, it only made him hungry.
