Thursday #Throwback- Baddest villians of all time

Image
Watching soap operas  as families played a role in our childhoods, the villain's brought even more spice to the scenes. That is why I have compiled a list of  villains that will always be in our memories. #1 Laqasha from Sgudis Snaysi He wasn't a villain per say, but he sure did give us a scare when he came around with his stick ready to break Sdumo's knees.

That's exactly what happened to Connie. In 2011 she opened her salon and as they say the rest is history.  In a competitive industry like hair you need to be able to stand out, and she has definitely found the for formula ''the way...
