Stunning Transformation: Scandal!’s Wakahina Actress Amazes Mzansi with Real-Life Look
South Africans are showering affection upon an actress who’s absolutely owning her role as a homeless person eking out a living by salvaging recyclables.
Adding to the weight of her struggles, she’s also grappling with postpartum psychosis.
The actress’s portrayal on a popular TV show is so incredibly convincing that one could easily mistake it for her having personally lived through such circumstances.
Nkhensani Mlondzo is truly excelling as Wakahinda, the once-lost mother of Nhlamulo, portrayed by Mathews Rantsoma, in the long-running etv soapie “Scandal!”
Devoted viewers of the show have opted to express their admiration for her on X, the social media platform formerly recognized as Twitter.
Mzansi Shows Love to Scandal!’s Wakahina Actress
A user, Siphesihle M (@sphemokoena), took to X to share a heartfelt tribute to the Wakahinda actress, accompanied by the caption, “Wakahinda appreciation post ❤️ #etvscandal.”
The comments section on the post was filled with astonishment at how remarkably distinct the actress is from her on-screen character. Additionally, a segment of X users wholeheartedly praised her for her exceptional performance on “Scandal!”
Here are some of the responses:

Nkhensani Mlondzo Is Killing Other Roles On TV
While fans of Scandal! have grown accustomed to Nkhensani Mlondzo’s convincing portrayal of Wakahina, the actress is also excelling in another soap opera role.
Nkhensani also plays Sasi in the SABC 2 telenovela Giyani – Land of Blood.
While most are seeing her for the first time on Scandal! as Nhlamulo’s mentally unstable mother, it’s not her debut on the show, and it’s truly remarkable to find yourself on the same series almost two decades later with only a more significant role.
She made a brief appearance on the soapie as a prostitute.
