ICYMI! Faith Sibiya Joins Scandal!
ICYMI! Faith Sibiya Joins Scandal! When it comes to beefing up its cast, Scandal!, is very intentional. For the past couple of months the e.tv soapie has been introducing some of the best actors in the industry. We speaking about the likes of Seputla Sebogodi, Lebohang Msiza, Sthandile Nkosi and Kwenzo Ngcobo among others.
Now Scandal! has introduced yet another star. On Monday evening, Faith Sibiya made her debut on the hit show. She plays the interesting character of Sanda, and by the look of things, it’s about to go down.
“Usefikile uMaDlamini on @officialetvscandal 🥹
Meet Sanda tonight on Scandal ETV. @etvonline @officialetvscandal,” Faith announced.
Born on September 13, 1992, Faith is a celebrated South African actress and singer. She rose to fame through her significant role in Durban Gen, and her soulful 2016 music release, “Mama ka Bafana.”
Her journey into the arts was deeply influenced by her family’s musical background, particularly her mother’s side. The tragic loss of her sister, who was instrumental in nurturing Faith’s singing talent, led her to join her high school choir. This is where she received extensive choral and classical training. Her break into major playback singing came with the prison serial Lockdown, where she performed the theme song “Mama Ka Bafana” in 2018.
Her portrayal of Dr. Mbali Mthethwa in the 2020 e.tv medical drama telenovela, “Durban Gen,” won her the prestigious Best Actress in Africa award at the Zikomo Awards in 2021. This solidified her status as a force to be reckoned with in the African entertainment landscape. Faith is also a talented radio personality, and she is currently on Gagasi FM.
