This month, four renowned actors will join the strong and talented Scandal! cast. Although new to Scandal!, these actors are widely known and respected in the acting industry for their roles in award winning productions.
Tshepo ‘Howza’ Mosese
Actor and musician Tshepo will debut on Thursday, 14 November, to play the role of Lerumo Chabedi, a bodyguard for an NFH/Secrets employee, Anzani. Lerumo is actually a policeman, an honest professional cop, proud but also a loner. He has no close friendships and he is damaged; hurt by his past and heritage.
Peter Muruakgomo
Seasoned actor Peter will join Scandal! on 14 November to play the role of Obakeng Rangaka, a senior salesman for a successful cleaning product company in Johannesburg. Obakeng is a divorcee who lives alone in Soweto. He comes to NFH to sell his products and soon finds love.
Jerry Mofokeng
Jerry is a legend on stage and on screen with a career spanning many a decade. On Tuesday, 19 November, Scandal! viewers will be introduced to him as Neo Mokheti, a leading crime lord in Gauteng. He has his fingers in many pies - drugs, money laundering, extortion etc.
He was the fabled kingpin set up in previous stories with lieutenants like Shakes and Jafta. Even Daniel worked for him and still owes him. But the net was closed and Neo was arrested and is currently awaiting trial.
However, he has many people working for him and will give him what he wants even though he is behind prison bars. Neo is ruthless in his underworld dealings, but presents himself to the world as a refined businessman - calm, reasonable and a man of distinction.
Mothusi Mogano
Mothusi is no stranger to South African audiences as he has taken up different roles in many local and international productions. He plays The Dustbin Man on Scandal! and makes his debut on Friday, 22 November.
The Dustbin Man is the name given to a mysterious assassin who has connections to Neo. He is so called because he has a reputation for taking out Neo’s rubbish so that Neo never has to get his hands dirty.
He is the ultimate professional and ruthless in his efficiency. He has become something of an urban legend in the underworld; his name mentioned in whispers and evoking fear in those who may be his targets.
