“Former Rhythm City Actress Mapula Mafole Joins the Cast of etvScandal”

Exciting news in the world of South African television! The talented and SAFTA-nominated actress Mapula Mafole has officially joined the cast of eTV’s beloved soapie, Scandal. Fans of Mapula have taken to social media to express their excitement and congratulate her on this new role, and it’s easy to see why!

Mapula, who is no stranger to the small screen, has previously graced our screens in Generations: The Legacy and Rhythm City. After her time on Rhythm City, she made waves by landing a role in 1Magic’s drama series Unmarried, as reported by TshisaLIVE in 2022. It seems that her talent and hard work are paying off, and she’s ready to take on new challenges.

In her own words, Mapula describes how quickly things came together for her character in Unmarried. “By the time we were getting scripts, and the ball was rolling, I started to see this character and how she was developing, and I was shook,” she shared. It’s clear that she embraced the challenge, and it sounds like it was a thrilling experience for her as an actress.

What’s particularly interesting about her new character is that she’s not exactly the “nice person” we might expect. Mapula emphasizes that the role has allowed her to explore a different side of her acting range. “Things she does are not nice to her friends,” she explains, reminding us that not every character needs to be a sweetheart. This complexity is what makes acting so rewarding, and it’s a fantastic opportunity for Mapula to showcase her versatility.

One of the most inspiring things about Mapula’s journey is her determination to break free from typecasting. “I’m not just a schoolgirl type cast; I can be cast for more mature things,” she asserts. It’s a powerful reminder that actors can evolve and take on roles that challenge them, and we can’t wait to see what she brings to the table in Scandal.

Despite her new ventures, Mapula has fond memories of her time on Rhythm City. She acknowledges the impact that role had on her career and her growth as an actress. As she embarks on this new chapter, we’re sure her fans will continue to support and cheer her on.

So, if you’re a fan of Mapula Mafole or just love a good soapie, be sure to tune in to Scandal and catch her in action!
