Talented actress Samukele Masindi (née Mkhize) recently opened up about the challenges of portraying the character of Khwezi on Skeem Saam.

The actress who got her acting break on Isibaya as Mabuyi previously discussed Khwezi Gasa's storyline on the SABC1 soapie.

Masindi recently had social media buzzing when she celebrated her marriage on social media.

The actress shared in an interview with True Love that she was really excited about joining Skeem Saam because the character is different from the one she played before.

"I'd always wanted to play somebody with a little bit of controversy, not somebody safe like my character on Isibaya," adds the star.

Masindi admits that she finds playing the role of Khwezi a bit uncomfortable, especially in scenes where Khwezi is disrespectful.

"Sometimes playing her makes me uncomfortable because I have to abandon all my morals, like when she disrespects elders," says the star.

The former Isibaya actress makes an example of Khwezi's recent interaction with Mkhulu, who passed away, because she would never behave the way Khwezi behaved in real life.

Masindi adds: "I hate myself after those scenes because it goes against everything my grandparents and mother taught me."

Skeem Saam fans react to Khwezi's storyline

@TeddyWilliam03 responded:

"Why is Lehasa only telling Khwezi about Clement's drug problem and not Pretty?"

@iamprescribed wrote:

"The writers are going all out to give Khwezi a storyline, shame."

@RhuMa101 reacted:

"Khwezi has softened up too much. Clement should have been fired last year."

@CeeNkuna responded:

"But this case is funny, so Khwezi went to mkhulu to acquire Lehasa’s riches, and now she didn’t want to compensate him, and now she’s in trouble for it."

@Angela_Macebele wrote:

"I actually want Nkosi to pull a Kganyago on Khwezi."

@Zamaswati_M commented:

"Khwezi and Nkosi really think Lehasa is an idiot, neh? They are so embarrassing."

@Sanele_Nathi said:

"Khwezi and Nkosi’s downfall? I will be there, can’t wait, I hope Lehasa and Peterson will get them."

@CeeNkuna reacted:

"Petersen’s theories about the Khwezi case make sense. He’s really a genius cop. I'm sure he will get to the root of the case."
