#SkeemSaam: Respect to Koko Mantsha

Koko Mantsha

One of the actresses we enjoy watching on Skeem Saam definitely has to be Koko Mantsha aka Lydia Mokgokoloshi.

Long before some of us were born, Gogo Lydia Mokgokoloshi used to act on various TV shows such as the likes of Bophelo ke Semphekgo (1990’s) alongside Kenny Mashaba on Generations.

However, Gogo Lydia has come far from that role in the 90′ we know her as Koko Mantsha on Skeem Saam.

Gogo Lydia is loved by many who watch the show religiously.

Her work has been recognized in so many ways, in 2015 she was awarded the Life Time Achievement Award at the fame awards.

It’s also lovely to see that Gogo Lydia acts alongside these young, energetic not forgetting talented cast members of Skeem Saam.
