Skeem Saam actresses Amanda Manku (Elizabeth Thobakgale) and Mogau Motlhatswi (Mapitsi Magongwa) are best friends on the show and even best friends even when the camera’s stop rolling.

In real life, the duo began their friendship way before Skeem Saam.

 

 

 
Amanda recently posted a picture of Mogau on her birthday on Instagram with the caption:

I met Mogau, many years ago (I don’t remember when).

She was a big fan of mine and couldn’t believe she met me.

Fast forward to 2021.

I really don’t know how we got here but one thing I know is that she’s a part of me.

Literally, knows everything about me, it’s scary.

She also stated that they’re so connected they finish off each other’s sentences and even call each other when they have food cravings.

Listen! I’ll call Mogau and tell her I’m craving balsamic vinegar chips and sour sweets, and don’t be mistaken, she will rock up with them.LIZZY AND MAPITSI’S FRIENDSHIP
Their characters didn’t hit it off from the beginning as they did.

They went to high school together and only began their friendship after they graduated from university.
Lizzy was a stuck-up A-student at Turfloop High and the principal’s child, while Mapitsi barely made it through high school.
Mapitsi was a laughing stock in high school who fell pregnant before matric.
She had to repeat a grade as she had to drop out to look after her baby.CURRENT STORYLINE
The duo is currently trending as Lizzy is about to lose her job because of Glenda (Nozi Langa).

Mapitsi is comforting her through the ordeal because Lizzy has no one to turn to.
Lizzy also dropped out of Mapitsi’s wedding last week as her maid of honour because she can’t focus on anything else.
Mapitsi is planning her wedding with her baby daddy and high school sweetheart Tbose Maputla (Cornet Mamabolo).
