#SkeemSaam viewers,
SPEED RECOVERY😔 Harriet Manamela known as Meikie Maputla
In a shocking twist in SKEEM SAAM Meikie Maputla will not continue with Skeem Saam
And actress Florence Masebe is set to step into Meikie Maputla’s shoes on Skeem Saam, temporarily replacing Harriet Manamela, who has portrayed the character since the series’ debut in 2011.
The unexpected move was prompted by Manamela’s undisclosed health issues, forcing her to take sick leave.
Although still on set and shooting, Manamela’s final scene for the season will air on April 5.
Masebe, slated to take over from May 15, brings a fresh dynamic to the role. Skeem Saam is not just shaking up its cast; it’s also shifting its time slot to 7:30 pm, aligning with SABC’s strategy to dominate prime-time drama from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm.
Viewers, long requesting this change, can expect a broader audience reach and a revamped viewing experience.
Stay tuned for the drama both on and off-screen! 🎭📺
