This morning we woke up to the sad news that actress and sports presenter Amanda Manku has lost a loved one. The Skeem Saam star revealed that she lost her mother/grandmother on Instagram. “I'm numb. R.I.P Mama R.I.P Koko,” she posted.
In the current storyline on the soapie, Amanda’s character Lizzy is entangled in a love triangle involving Zamokuhle and Glenda.
After her mother, Principal Thobakgale found out that Zamo, Glenda, T’Bose and Mmapitsi intend on replacing her daughter as the maid of honour at Mmapitsi’s wedding, she didn’t take the news well. She informed Lizzy about his who also did not take well to the decision. Lizzy has since distanced herself from the group and now Mmapitsi wants to mend things.
Another star to open up about the passing of a loved one is television and radio broadcaster Kuli Roberts. She is grief-stricken and has opened up about her loss to her followers.

Sharing some of her fondest memories with Lulu, the former Vuzu presenter revealed that she used to take her to the Red Cross Children’s Hospital each day so she would get hives.
“We used to wake up and take her to Red Cross Children's Hospital every day as she would get hives. I remember her being stuck in plaster after they broke both her legs in order to straight them. We chilled together for months rocking and getting em straight. She was the only one out of all those people who was always there.”
Interacting with her followers, the star spoke about the last conversation that they had which was a lighthearted one. “Last time we spoke we were laughing cause her front teeth were damaged and removed after the car accident and I kept asking her to say, "sip".
Our deepest and most sincere condolences to the family of Amanda Manku and Kuli Roberts on their losses.
