In recent years talented actors who are related have ruled the entertainment industry. Good examples in South Africa are the Fergusons, the Kgoroges, Ranakas and many others. Blood and Water actress Cindy Mahlangu is a talented young actress making big moves in the industry, and so is Sandile Mahlangu. The two landed roles together in Scandal last year and called themselves cousins. Mzansi could not help but wonder if the two talented actors are related in real life.

When he found them out, Mamba got Simo to kill Violetta.
