Actress Florence Masebe is set to join the cast of the popular soapie, “Skeem Saam.” Known for her incredible talent and versatility, Masebe will be taking on the role of Meikie Maputla, previously portrayed by Harriet Manamela.
According to reports from Phil Mphela, Harriet Manamela needed to take a sick leave, leading to the decision to temporarily replace her character.
Manamela’s last scene for the season will air on April 5th, 2024, and from May 15th, viewers can expect to see Florence Masebe stepping into the shoes of Meikie Maputla.

As news of the casting choice spread, fans of the show took to social media to share their thoughts. One Twitter user expressed their excitement, saying, “Perfect candidate. She’s a great actress.
Speedy recovery to Bo mma.” It seems that Masebe’s reputation as a talented actress precedes her, and fans are eager to see her bring a fresh perspective to the character.
However, not everyone was thrilled with the decision to replace Meikie temporarily. Another Twitter user voiced their opinion, stating, “I love Mme Florence. She’s such a great actress. However, there was no need for ‘Skeem Saam’ to replace Meikie, even if it’s temporary.
They should have just written her to go visit her family in the village or something.” It seems that some viewers prefer continuity over temporary replacements.
Another tweet echoed a similar sentiment, suggesting that the show could have sent Meikie on an overseas vacation instead of introducing a new actress. It’s clear that switching characters can sometimes lead to a loss of interest for some viewers.
Regardless of the mixed reactions, there’s no denying that Florence Masebe is a talented addition to the “Skeem Saam” cast. Her portrayal of Meikie Maputla is sure to bring new energy to the character, and fans will be eagerly awaiting her debut on the show.
