Newcomer Zizo Sobhutyu opens up about her character Mosebjwadi's current storyline on SABC1's soapie Skeem Saam.

The fan-favourite actress, who stars opposite Vusi Leremi, has been making waves on social media since her teenage character went on a trip to Cape Town.

The educational soapie recently shared Mosebjwadi's trip on its X account on 6 January 2026.

On the show, Sobhutyu's character is taken to Cape Town for the first time by her school teacher and deputy principal, Evelyn Maswahla (played by Vele Manenje).

Sobhutyu reveals in an interview with Sunday World that stepping into the Mosebjwadi world requires an emotional grounding in where the character comes from.

“Before scenes, I remind myself of the shack, the bullying, and the constant feeling of being ‘less than’. I channel all of that into my performance,” says the rising star.

The actress adds that the Cape Town storyline is a significant shift for her young character as the setting brings a softer tone and allows Mosebjwadi to experience freedom for the first time.
