Many people have been inspired by Pretty and Lehasa’s on-screen romance. Their love story has brought tears to the eyes of hopeless romantics and has made many viewers believe in love once more.
In the second season of the educational drama Skeem Saam, the two fell in love.
Pretty, who was in a relationship at the time, traveled to Johannesburg to see her friend Eunice, who was studying at the time.
She and Lehasa fell in love the moment they laid eyes on each other. Their affair lasted about a week before her current partner, Kat Peterson, became suspicious and went to fetch Pretty, along with Kwaito and Tbose.
They suspected Lehasa of taking advantage of Pretty, only to discover that the two were having an affair.
When Pretty returned to Turfloop, she revealed that she was pregnant, but Lehasa had already moved on.
She told Lehasa about the pregnancy, which turned cold until she had her abortion.
When Khwezi, Lehasa’s baby mama, was away, the two rekindled their love and reconnected. She reappeared unexpectedly, stabbing Lehasa and attempting to kill Pretty, bringing the two closer together.
Despite their toxic love in recent weeks, Pretty and Lehasa’s relationship has changed since Khwezi moved in with them. Let’s see how their relationship changes now that she’s moved out.
Lerato Marabe (Pretty on Skeem Saam) talked to Metro FM last week about working with Cedric Fourie (Lehasa Maphosa).
Cedric, according to Lerato, is very cool and professional.
