NOLWAZI NGUBENI IS BRILLIANT E.tv Scandal! viewers can't get enough of Nolwazi Ngubeni's portrayal of Mbali Khubeka.
--
The 37-year-old recently told Drum Magazine that even she didn't know that today she would be one of the top-rated actresses in the entertainment industry.
She's appeared in multiple shows such as A Place Called Home, Scandal!, Mzali Wam, and many others.
Ngubeni grew up in a family of artists and became influenced and nurtured to love acting and performing from an early age.

I have been a performer all my life; since I was a child.
I was trained as a singer growing up and that's something I got from my family.
As I grew older, acting took over and I decided to study performance in university.
The Drama department at Durban University of Technology has opened up doors for me.
The actress also currently plays the role of Sibongile Dlamini in Mzansi Magic's Mzali Wam besides her role on Scandal!.
She is the best,her craft is dope she really deserve to be honored for her work #etvScandal pic.twitter.com/Sa3e4VZaXP

MBALI KHUBEKA'S STORYLINE Nolwazi Ngubeni's character - Mbali- is married to Jojo Kubeka played by Isibaya actor Melusi Mbhele
We don't know much about Mbali's background as she's distanced herself from her family since marrying Jojo.
Viewers met her sister Winnie last week after Mbali's miscarriage.
She was told by doctors that she can't conceive and has now asked her sister to be her surrogate.
Fans are worried that her sister and her husband might fall in love as she's asked her to sleep with him to conceive a baby.
The Khubekas are living with a stranger as they don't anything about her before she was one of them.
They've never met her family because they never approved of Jojo and she chose him over them to havea peaceful marriage.
Great, others see it too!
She s been shining through especially these recent couple of scenes.
So happy for her.

REACTIONS FROM SCANDAL!' VIEWERS @Calliba:
My everyday crush, I know her from the role she played on A Place Called Home.
I never stopped liking her even though she disappeared from the acting scene for a while.
She's good, really good at her role and she's so beautiful yerrrr!
@Black_Doltjie:
I hate that tv always portrays women who have fertility issues as desperate and devious.
Scandal! is missing an opportunity to explore the fertility journey slightly differently.
I hope I'm calling it too soon and Mbali is honest with Jojo.
@TOPTEMMIE:
Mbali was so wrong to have allowed Winnie to sleep with her husband.
This might come back to bite her in the future.

What if Jojo finds out and falls in love with the sister after she becomes pregnant? Iyo Mbali, she s going to regret this

She gonna. The way she was agreeing to what Mbali was saying about Uthuli Waste, their family will no longer be poor.
