Skeem Saam: Kwaito Finally Welcomes His Bride Home. After months of financial problems and fighting between families, Kwaito and Lizzy are finally tying the knot.The couple from Skeem Saam has had a long journey leading up to their wedding, which is finally going to happen.
Amanda Manku (32) who plays the character of Lizzy (full name Elizabeth Thobakgale) spoke to Daily Sun about the wedding and being part of Skeem Saam for ten years.
The actress said she didn’t think these two characters would ever get married.
“I did not expect that Zamokuhle and Elizabeth’s journey would reach this point. I also don’t think the characters themselves knew that things would happen this way. Zamokuhle has been a very indecisive person, we know that the biggest thing was the love triangle (with Glenda) that almost ruined their relationship and I thought the relationship would not go anywhere. But alas, here we are today,” she said.“I’ve been with Skeem Saam since 2013. It’s been exactly ten years now and the growth for my character was phenomenal, and I don’t think it was predictable at all. From high school to varsity, getting into a car accident and being in a wheelchair.“I think that storyline was one that will always affect her going forward because of how hectic it was. Another thing is the relationship she had with Mangaliso (played by Bongani Madondo), which will always affect her because even years later, people still talk about that. Ten years later, I as Amanda playing as Elizabeth, I’ve had to grow with her and adjust to where she is in her life,” she said.
