Talented actress Mogau Motlhatswi, who stars opposite Koketso Machaka on Skeem Saam as Mapitsi Maputla, recently opened up about her popular character.

The actress, who recently announced her pregnancy on her Instagram account, says she's mother and a wife in real life, just like her character.

Motlhatswi reveals in an interview with Drum Magazine that she's been receiving mixed reviews on social media and in real life about her character's latest storyline.

"Some men I meet in person or on social media are angry and tell me, this is not the Mapitsi we know. While most women are like, do what makes you happy," says the actress.

The Limpopo-born actress has been trending on social media since her character began having an affair with a co-worker on the educational soapie.

Viewers of the show have taken to social media to lambast Mapitsi, who is cheating on her husband, Thabo Maputla (Hungani Ndlovu).

"No, this can't be how they get busted I want it on air. The whole world must hear. I don't get people saying the story line is dragging as if they get cheated on and find out the next day. Skeemsaam is more on reality than nursing your impatience."
