Hey there, Skeem Saam fans! If you’ve been scrolling through social media lately, you might have stumbled across some pretty wild rumors about the future of our favorite soapie. And let me tell you, it’s been quite the rollercoaster ride!
So, here’s the scoop—people are buzzing about potential big changes in the show, especially the rumored departure of one of its most beloved characters, Pretty Seakamela. For those who have been following the show, you know how integral she’s been to the storyline, not to mention the hearts of fans. Lerato Marabe, the talented actress behind Pretty, has been lighting up our screens for over a decade, so it’s no wonder that the thought of her leaving has everyone in a tizzy!
Initially, whispers suggested that Lungelo Mpangase, who dazzled audiences as Nikiwe in the soapie Nikiwe, might be stepping in to fill Pretty’s shoes. But hold on a second—these rumors were quickly dismissed by reliable sources close to the show. Instead of panicking, it turns out that this was just a classic case of social media blowing things way out of proportion. Skeem Saam reassured fans that Lerato will remain on the show.

And it doesn’t stop there! There were also claims that Cedric Fourie, who plays the ever-dramatic Lehasa, was bowing out of the show after his character was sentenced to life in prison. Again, Skeem Saam cleared the air—no one’s going anywhere! It looks like both Lerato and Cedric are sticking around, much to the relief of viewers who can’t imagine the show without them.
Now, let’s chat a little about Lerato Marabe. For those who don’t know, she hails from Vosloorus, where she grew up surrounded by her family—mom is a teacher, so it’s no surprise she’s got that strong work ethic! Besides her iconic role on Skeem Saam, she has graced our screens in other popular shows like Isibaya and Intersexions. Talk about versatility! And while she’s juggling her career, she’s also studying editing at AFDA Cape Town. We love a dedicated queen!
On the flip side, if we’re looking at rising stars, let’s not forget Lungelo Mpangase. She’s been making waves lately, with noteworthy performances in eHostela and the film Temba Lam. It’s clear that she’s one to watch in the industry. But for now, it seems she won’t be stepping into Pretty’s role anytime soon, much to the relief of diehard fans.
In conclusion, while rumors can be exciting for a moment, it’s important to remember to take them with a grain of salt. Skeem Saam has confirmed that no major character changes are happening right now. So let’s keep enjoying the educational drama, the characters we love, and leave the rumor-mongering to the bloggers! Here’s hoping for many more seasons of the intriguing storylines that keep us hooked.
