Scandal! character Dintle Nyathi will finally get her fairytale wedding in tonight’s episode, and leading lady Mapaseka Koetle-Nyokong is giving an exclusive look inside the dreamy television nuptials.
Dintle married Mangi Nyathi (Kagiso Modupe) while incarcerated in a not-so-romantic prison quickie wedding years ago, as viewers will recall. But this time is different because Dintle will walk down the aisle to marry beau Reggie Pheko (Makhaola Ndebele).
She has recently been making headlines for her role as Dintle Nyathi on the etv drama series Scandal. Her on-screen character has undoubtedly elevated her to the ranks of Mzansi’s highest-paid actresses.
“Dintle is upbeat and happy, despite the fact that this is her second marriage. She never had the perfect fairy tale wedding when she married Mangi… But it’s finally happening now.”
The character has evolved in front of e.tv daily drama viewers over the years, from a troublesome vixen as a scheming teenager to now playing more of a matriarch role as an esteemed businesswoman and mother.
Things appear to be falling into place for the blushing bride, who is about to begin a new life with Reggie, a man she met last October as her daughter Khanyi Jewel Nyathi’s (KaiAnn Munyaka) art tutor.
The couple quickly fell in love and later got engaged. Dintle and Reggie’s happiness was short-lived, as Reggie’s son Karabo (Bohlokwa Mpiti) caused trouble for the couple.
“There are no wedding jitters at all; Dintle is overjoyed to be marrying a man who understands her and wants to make her happy,” Koetle-Nyokong said.
“She’ll look stunning in a custom white gown… Another exciting aspect of the wedding is that viewers and fans of the show will finally get to meet Dintle’s mother. Her mother decided to attend the wedding and bless it with her presence.”
