Kagiso Modupe leaves Scandal!

Kagiso Modupe is leaving Scandal! to pursue other dreams. He said that although it was a hard decision to make, it was time.

He is best known for his role as Mangi on the show.

“I could never have dreamt as a young man when I walked into Scandal studios 13 years ago that I would grow up on the show. When I look back, I stand in awe of all the memories. I got married and had children while on the show, and I was able to put myself through school. I’ve been able to build a beautiful home and secure my family’s future with lucrative business investments. The show has contributed to so much success in my life.”

He is the last member of the original cast, after Sandy Mokwena died last month.

Kagiso is set to release his book this month, and will continue his music career.

Ke a leboga ETV, Ochre Media, the entire team at Scandal, my family Bakwena ka kakaretso, my wife my rock Liza Modupe & children Tshimollo and Motheo thank you for sharing me with the world, and my die-hard followers.
