SCANDAL!': THE NGEMA FAMILY EXIT SOAPIE The departure of Nomvelo Makhanya, who played Nkosi's daughter Lindiwe Ngema might cause Nkosi's storyline to be discounted as her on-screen husband Patrick Mofokeng has also joined Generations: The Legacy.

Mofokeng, who's been playing Mlungisi Ngema for nearly a decade and plays Mandla in 1Magic's cancelled telenovela Lingashoni joined the SABC1 soapie in November.

He currently plays the character of Doctor Luyolo's (Karabo Maseko) father and Ayanda Borotho's on-screen husband. Nkosi's departure comes a few days after Makhanya revealed on social media that she nearly killed herself because of the toxic work environment at e.tv's Scandal!

Scandal! did not yet confirm yet Gcina Nkosi's departure at the time of publishing this article.
