Skeem Saam is a South African soap opera created by Winnie Serite, broadcast on SABC1 since 2011. The show is set in Johannesburg and Turfloop. It rose to fame since it arrived, competing with Generations.
A majority youth-centered show, Skeem Saam is an SABC Education production. It has been running for more than 10 seasons. In January 2021, the SABC announced that the show would go on a production break starting March 1, 2021, due to a massive decline in viewership.
Skeem Saam, however, is now the third most watched soap after Uzalo and Scandal. The writers are doing an excellent job, and everyone is enjoying the plots.
