Lehasa is finally revealing his true colours to Pretty and she could not believe her eyes. Lehasa tells Pretty that she always knew that he was a bad man, and she needs to admit it. In a way he admitted having murdered Fanie

 

 

 

He tells Pretty to know who she is in a relationship with. This serves Pretty right because everyone keeps on warning her every day about the danger of being in a relationship with Lehasa. She must learn to choose love over money and not the other way around.

Despite the fact that she appears to be very young, some of her fans are likely to have a huge crush on her.

It is worth noting that Skeem Saam actress Pretty, real name Lerato Marabe, is off the market for marriage.

The actress is married and in a happy marriage. On skeem saam, she plays a student who falls in love with a businessman and must now fight for her place.

A photo of the married actress has gone viral on social media, with many people assuming she’s pregnant.

 

Some even claimed her on-screen boyfriend Lehasa (Cedric Fourie) is the father.

As far as we know, she hasn’t commented on the pregnancy and has always kept her personal life away from social media.

According to the Skeem Saam TVSA November teasers, Jacobeth Thobakgale’s new man Ntate Kganyago may not be who he claims to be… a financially secure professor with a daughter in Ireland. He doesn’t want Lizzy to distrust him because he saved her from Luc, the scammer at Turfloop Hospital.

 
Skeem Saam’s Ntate Kganyago and Jacobeth Thobakgale’s (Elizabeth Serunye) daughter Lizzy will not get along when he convinces her mother to resign from her job at Turf High and she moves out of her mother’s house at the end of November.

It appears that Ntate Kganyago, like Luc (Jean-Michel Tuji Mukengeshayi), was planning to seduce Thobakgale from the start in order to obtain her retirement funds.

Kganyago is emotionally intelligent and knows how to manipulate women… He’ll make the former Turf High principal vulnerable by announcing his departure from Turfloop.

He’ll get rid of Lizzy so he can have her all to himself and get what he wants… her money.

The Tuesday 1 November teaser reads:
“Ntate Kganyago brings sad news for Jacobeth.”

The Wednesday 2 November teaser reads:
“Jacobeth has to find a way to stop love from escaping her.”

Kganyago will eventually move into Thobakgale’s house, making Lizzy uneasy… This reveals that he lacks his own money and wants to rely on Thobakgale, who is desperate for love.

The Tuesday 8 November teaser reads:
“Jacobeth extends an invitation to Ntate Kganyago that makes Elizabeth very uncomfortable.”

Monday 21 November:
“Ntate Kganyago and Elizabeth are at loggerheads regarding their new living arrangement.”

Zikhona Bali, who plays Pastor Charleston’s girlfriend Asanda in DiepCity, will leave the show in December before it wraps up in March.

Zikhona Bali, who appeared in DiepCity two years ago as Pastor Charleston’s (Chrispen Nyathi) girlfriend Asanda, tells Sowetan:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“If it were up to me, I wouldn’t be leaving DiepCity and a character I grew to love. But I understand that it’s the end of the road for Asanda much like all storylines. I’ve never played the role of a pastor’s side chick who’s a criminal; with that role, I had to navigate my feelings on how best to execute Asanda to viewers as authentic as possible. Asanda is dearly loved by those around her because at first, she seemed sweet and angelic only to turn out the exact opposite.”

Her character is currently struggling with drug addiction and becomes involved in shady dealings with Charleston.

“She gets caught up in the land of dodgy dealings with her pastor boyfriend and battling drug addiction… how she’ll exit the show will certainly shake viewers. I’ve loved acting on the set, I’ve loved the people I worked with on the show and playing Asanda, but now I have to step away and find Zikhona again.”

In an August interview with the Daily Sun, Black Brain Pictures confirmed that the telenovela will not return for a third season when its second season concludes in March 2023.
