The villainous essence of Shakira has disappeared and now it's returning in a new Scandal! villain who goes by the name of Hector Thebe, played Tumisho Masha.
The former Isidingo and Wild star has been the signed by the soapie for a full-time contract and starts filming soon. The news was revealed at e.tv's Summer Upfronts on Saturday (3 October), a day after Tumisho's contract was signed.
The paperwork was wrapped on Friday so it's a very new development which means that his storylines and the finer details of Hector haven't been finalised yet. What has been confirmed is that he's Naledi's father.
As we mentioned in the
Scandal! gallery during Soapie Week, Dineo Moeketsi plays Naledi and makes her debut tonight. She's a university friend of Thembeka's who arrives on the scene with a lot more than anyone bargained for i.e. a daddy who's waiting in the wings to take on Lucas.
Hector's going to be a rival to Lucas and his villainy will be directed at him so Hector could become your new hero if you're feeling the urge to give Lucas a smack.
We'll keep you posted once his debut date has been confirmed.
