Scandal is doing it again
The popular drama cast of 2021 included Mxolisi Nodom, who was deaf from birth. The show chose to cast an actual deaf person rather than an actor who can sign. Being the first deaf actor to appear in South African television series, Mxolisi made history. He portrayed Thando, the deaf brother of Violetta (Cindy Mahlangu), who was searching for his deceased sister, from whom she had not heard in a long time.
Prior to being brought to light by the scandal, Mxolisi participated in Zwakala, an art competition for the hard of hearing. Since he wasn’t in Johannesburg when he heard about Scandal’s tryouts, he sent the showrunners a number of video recordings. After that, he received an audition call, and the rest is history.
