Scandal! returns with more blockbusting episodes for fans and viewers to revel in. The show that regularly leaves fans on the edge of their seats is a story about the Nyathis, owners of the Nyathi Family Holdings (NFH) and their prime media publication called The Voice and the gossip publication also published by the company and from where the series draws its title, Scandal.
The show shines the light on the lives of a local Soweto community and the more advanced Newtown, Johannesburg, with the NFH media house at the center of everything in that environment and beyond. Scandal! draws highly rated comparisons with other highly rated shows like The River and Generations: The Legacy.

A little further into April, viewers see a concerned Bongi left in that state after an uncharacteristic outburst.

April ends with a reopening of old sores after Ndu and Gontse reminisce on past events and a visibly enraged Gontse plotting revenge after surprising deceit.
