Skeem Saam’s Pretty Seakamela was praised on social media after she turned down Lehasa Maphosa’s proposal.

On January 17, viewers were left in suspense when Lehasa surprised them by proposing to Pretty after their relationship had hit rock bottom.

Seakamela was even forced to leave Maphosa’s Sandton home after Khwezi, the baby mama, returned.

To the delight of Mzansi viewers, the January 18 episode saw Lehasa’s proposal rejected as Pretty chose herself over marrying Lehasa.

@bbygalrea added:
“I think Pretty wanted Lehasa to MEAN the proposal… propose to her because he wants to and not because he’s afraid of losing her… #SkeemSaam”

@ZoeyBlvck also said:
“As much as I love Prehasa together, I also love how Pretty is finally choosing herself. Love only is not enough and Lehasa needs to get that she deserves so much better. #SkeemSaam”

“Not gonna lie, kinda like what Pretty is doing. I know she will say yes eventually and Lehasa will value her much more cause he officially knows life without her. #SkeemSaam”
