Newcomer Relebogile Mothapo topped social media trends when she made her debut on Skeem Saam as Melita Monama's teenage daughter.

Mothapo, who secured the character of Jacqui Monama on the soapie, has failed to impress viewers of the show.

The rising star acts opposite actor Thabiso Molokomme, who plays her half-brother Paxton Kgomo.

A fan of the soapie @FenzoMotau recently shared on his X account that actress Relebogile Mothapo can't act.

"This Jacqui girl can’t act. There are a lot of young, good actors in South Africa who are very good and can grab this opportunity with both hands," he wrote.

"She's terrible."
