The latest episode of Mzansi Magic’s Impilo: The Scam, which aired on Monday, 19 August 2019, saw Mnqobi continuing his quest of promoting Impilo, as he attempted to fulfil the promise he made to his father and Pacino, in order to clear his mother’s name. Later, his best friend, Tebza, was told by his grandmother that she had joined Impilo as she was promised a high return on her money by Mnqobi. When confronted by Tebza, Mnqobi stated that he did not target his grandmother, saying that she approached him. This left Tebza with no choice but to let her join Impilo.
