Having caused so much chaos she had us all at the edge of our seats, her character, Violetta has come to an end. The last few months have been pretty scandalous for Cindy Mahlanguis’ character on Scandal!
It goes without saying that Cindy gave an award-worthy performance with her portrayal of the vile and manipulative Violetta. With Mamba finding out about her affair with Simo played by Mahlangu, the only place to go is 6 feet under.
Surprisingly, Cindy agrees that Violetta was one hell of a mean girl!
“The character was very challenging for me. She’s so mean and doesn’t care about other people,” Mahlangu says. I had to learn not to judge the character in order for me to have fun portraying her. I judged the character from the minute I auditioned. I saw the brief and I thought, ‘not another bad character’. I just wanted to get a sweet character. I think one thing people don’t get is that I’m different to my characters” she says.
“It breaks my heart to know that you are leaving the show. You have done a great job Cindy. I don’t know what I am going to binge watch now because you’ve lest Scandal. May God bless you for doing an exquisite job and continue to protect you in your future endeavors,”she commented.
Cindy has also starred in Netfilx’s Kings of Joburg.
