Legendary actress Ruth Tladi, who plays the role of MaThubela on Scandal!, has been trending on social media since Poko's father, Vukosi (played by Fumani Shilubana), joined the show.
The award-winning soapie, which stars actress and rapper Rouge The Rapper as Darlene, will come to an end in June 2026, after more than 20 years on television.
The soapie shared a teaser on its X account of MaThubela's attitude towards Poet aka Poko's father, Vukosi, when he brought his family to pay damages for his long-lost son.
"Guys, kanti bothata ba Mathubela ke eng? (What is MaThubela's problem?). Just look at her facial expressions! #etvScandal," said the show.
