One of Skeem Saam's star actors, Charles Kunutu, portrayed by Masilo Magoro, is always ahead of the times with current affairs in the country.

In a clip shared by Twitter (X) user ThapelooleratoM, the spaza shop owner praised Bafana's amazing performance in his conversation with Katlego (Patrick Seleka). He further tipped his hat to Ronwen Williams for his heroics during the Cape Verde penalty shoot-out.
Charles even spoke about the upcoming elections and asked if Katlego registered to vote, which speaks to the importance of young people's involvement:
"Did you know that Bafana Bafana last went to the AFCON semi-finals in 2000? What Ronwen Williams is called patriotism; he defended his country with all his being."
