Skeem Saam, once one of the most-watched TV dramas in South Africa, has been facing a significant drop in viewership. To revive its dwindling audience, the show has brought back two of its most intriguing characters, Cedric Fourie, who plays Lehasa, and Lerato Marabe, also known as Pretty. The pair has a compelling storyline that recently took a shocking turn, causing a buzz among fans.
In the latest episodes, Lehasa’s time in prison has been a focal point of the drama. Pretty visits him there, and during their interaction, a bombshell is dropped. Khwezi, upon learning the truth about Lehasa Junior’s DNA test, plans to flee. The possibility that Lehasa might not be the father of her child has left Khwezi in a state of panic. Her intentions to run away have stirred up a mix of emotions among the show’s characters, especially Pretty, who is now caught in this whirlwind of secrets and revelations.
The news of Khwezi’s potential escape has brought a new layer of tension to the plot, and fans are eager to see how this will unfold. This twist has come at a crucial time for Skeem Saam, as it competes with e.tv’s Scandal for the prime time viewership slot. The simultaneous airing of both shows has split audiences, with many switching over to Scandal for its gripping narratives.
However, the introduction of this shocking storyline has rekindled interest in Skeem Saam. The producers are hopeful that by delving deeper into the complex dynamics between Lehasa, Pretty, and Khwezi, they can reclaim their former glory and keep viewers glued to their screens. As the drama continues, the question remains: Will Khwezi succeed in her plan to flee, or will the truth about the DNA test finally come to light?
