‘Skeem Saam’ Fans React to Lizzy’s 2nd Pregnancy: “They Deserve a Second Chance”

• Turfloop has gotten a lot brighter after the news of Lizzy's pregnancy brought smiles to her and Kwaito's faces
• After she and her husband lost their first pregnancy due to major complications, it seems the couple may finally have the family of their dreams after all
• The news was met with a cocktail of reactions from Skeem Saam viewers, who expressed both cheer and concern for the couple

It looks like Lizzy and Kwaito may finally get their second chance at parenthood after learning about their pregnancy.

During a recent episode of Skeem Saam on 9 February 2026, Lizzy, played by actress Amanda Manku, finally shared the secret she had been keeping from her husband, and the couple is over the moon. She told him following his brush with death in Namibia, a pleasant surprise after a not-so-pleasant experience.

This would be their second pregnancy after the pair had to terminate their first due to major complications that forced Lizzy to choose between her life and their twins'. She would have been paralysed had she continued with the pregnancy, so she chose herself, a decision that did not sit well with Kwaito and his family.
