"Never a waste of time listening to Samnkeh. I love her down!"

@tebogomatlala5056 said:

"I love this lady 'Samke' because she's just herself, and I used to misunderstand her because of her roles given, but since I listen to her interviews, I know her real self. She's just like the Diteboho lady from Muvhango. I love their simplicity 😊 and not being all over social media."
