ERIC MACHERU: MOKGADI AND LEETO'S LOVE STORY' Seasoned actor Eric Macheru, who plays the role of Leeto Maputla on the educational soapie, Skeem Saam says he was home in Polokwane when he got the call that he landed the role.
--
The father of one says he was extremely nervous on his first day on set and revealed that his favourite storylines on the show have always been between Leeto and Mokgadi (Pebetsi Nolo Matlaila).
The two have been through so much together. I just love them.
I also love the fact that it's always laughter behind the scenes, we have really happy and funny people on set.

PUTLA SEHLAPELO: THE TENDER STORYLINE' Multi-talented actor Putla Sehlapelo, who's been playing the role of Meneer Alfred Magongwa since season two on Skeem Saam says he accidentally got the role.
--
I actually started out as a casting director and ended up having to fill in for someone else that didn't show up on the day.
I was essentially just a filler so to say. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Sehlapelo says his all-time favourite storyline is the one he's currently shooting surrounding the tender storyline.
I can't give the storyline away prematurely, people would need to tune in. But it is a beautiful story.
He also adds that he's not a terrible person, but playing Alfred has allowed him to get to play a somewhat baddie character, which he enjoys.

CARESSED BY SKEEM SAAM' FANS When Macheru is asked what his most memorable moments were with Skeem Saam fans he says fans can be unpredictable at times.
You'll never know their next move. I've been pulled, kissed, pockets searched, scratched, hugged. Haha!
But I mostly felt loved. I've had good fans.
One of Putla Sehlapelo's most unforgettable off-camera moments was when a female fan cried when she saw him.
She probably cried for about 20 minutes first, before calming down to tell me that when she saw me she saw greatness.
That, she loved my work, and every time she saw me on TV it made her emotional.
Sehlapelo says this experience with the fan was quite overwhelming and caught him completely off-guard.
