He is from uMthwalume in KwaZulu-Natal, Siyabonga Gcwensa (18) who plays the role of Mbuso, who is a son who returns home after serving a prison sentence, said that getting a place in the show Scandal was the fulfillment of his dream for years.

Siyabonga recently started appearing in the telenovela Scandal, he said that his love for acting started when he was in elementary school, and it grew as his dream of appearing in big telenovelas like Scandal came true.

He previously appeared in the recently concluded Mzansi Magic show Diepcity.”When I was growing up I loved dancing and acting, but when I entered the upper grades I realized that one day I want to see myself acting in the biggest shows here in South Africa. Getting the chance to act in Scandal was not easy, but the Creator, I believe, made a secret that I ended up being one of its actors.

 

He said that since he started appearing in his favorite show in May this year, other doors have opened in the field of acting, some of which he said he is still hiding a stick in the dirt. “The first time I saw that my things were shining, I realized in the year 2021 when I was selected that I will act for a while in the show Diepcity. I’m still young, so I still wish to grow in acting,” he said.

Siyabonga thanked actors Jack Blackgod and Akhona Ndlovu for sharpening and advising him in the field of acting.

“I can say that Jack Blackgod helps me a lot in my work. What I like about him is that he understands that I am young, being trained by people like him means a lot to me.

Black people must understand that acting is an important field, that’s why there are courses for it in colleges and universities. ” When I look at the journey I’ve made even though I’m still young, I also wish that people my age don’t give up hope in the field of acting,” said Siyabonga.

Siyabonga said he hopes that the role he plays in Scandal will open up more opportunities for him. He said this year he wants to be one of the leading actors in Scandal and that he wants to see himself appearing in the shows shown on Netflix because it is watched all over the world.
