The Skeem Saam August teasers reveal that fan-favourite actress Shoki Mmola, who played the role of Celia Magongwa, a receptionist at Turfloop Hospital will get replaced and Turfloop Secondary will get a new principal when Elizabeth Serunye’s character Principal Thobakgale gets demoted.

Serunye will not be leaving the soapie like Mmola who bowed out of the educational soapie last month (June).

The Skeem Saam actress Shoki Mmola confirmed on her Instagram account that she’s left the soapie after playing Celia Magongwa for ten years, while the August teasers indicate that the much-loved character Principal Thobakgale, played by award-winning actress Elizabeth Serunye might get demoted and replaced by Alfred Magongwa at Turfloop Secondary.

The TVSA Friday 5 August teaser reads: “A strike is looming against Principal and no one can do anything about it. Turf Hospital needs a new receptionist as in yesterday.
