SABC1's youth drama series Skeem Saam has unveiled new cast additions including Nyaniso Dzedze, Pholoso Mohlala, Brendan Pamhake and Themba Manganyi who have been added to the Peu Communications produced show.
The first of the actors will start to show up on-screen in Skeem Saam from today, 26 January, and over the course of the next few weeks.
"This year brings dirty secrets bubbling to the surface, budding new relationships, a fallen star, and a high-speed car chase," Peu Communications says in a press release.
From 4 March the SABC is moving Skeem Saam from its 18:30 timeslot on SABC1 to 19:30 where it will now be up against e.tv's Scandal!.
Themba Manganyi (above) will make his appearance on 31 January as the character of Pule, while Brendan Maphake (below) will make his appearance as the character of Amukelani, called Amu, from 2 February.
According to the show Amu as a new Turfloop learner "causes a stir when he leaves the girls smitten and all the boys feeling intimidated".
Actor Nyaniso Dzedze who has appeared on-screen in Ashes to Ashes, Unmarried and e.tv's Durban Gen, will make his appearance on 12 February as the character of Nkosi.
According to the character's logline he is a "man who owns a well-established security company and is the perfect definition of 'a friend in need is a friend indeed' when he quickly comes to Lehasa's rescue".
