“Everywhere I go they ask me about my husband,” expressed a frustrated Lerato.
She told Mo Flava and Khutso Theledi that playing Pretty is easy as they are the same age and going through more or less the same thing

“He is a cool gent and very professional. He doesn’t make me feel uncomfortable. Even when we have scenes where we have to be intimate, he’ll talk me through. It and ask me what am I comfortable with.”
Marabe, who has been part and parcel of Skeem Saam since the very beginning got into the entertainment industry at a very young age.
“The very first thing I did was the Omo Ad and the very first big thing was Takalane Sesame. I played the character of Tshidi. I was the very very last Tshidi.”
