The 81 year old Koko Mantsha has been on Skeem Saam since 2011. It is said that Lydia has left the left and that she will still be in and out of the story but she just won’t be shooting as much as she used to,as sometimes SkeemSaam shooting schedule gets really hectic at times and they don’t want to wear her out.

In a bid to move her to the reccuring role, Koko has since moved away from Turfloop in Limpopo which is where Skeem Saam is based. Koko left under the Show that she was going home to spend quality time with her brother Josias. The fans are definitely sad to see her go.
