How star breathes life into Evelyn on ‘Skeem Saam’
The Star
|January 23, 2026
ACTRESS Vele Manenje’s portrayal of the deputy principal in Skeem Saam, Evelyn Maswahla, leaves viewers on tenterhooks with each episode of the long-running educational soap opera.
It's evident on screen that Manenje relishes bringing Evelyn to life. Speaking to IOL, the actress says the character is a joy to play because she feels deeply familiar.
“I approach her by grounding her in truth. She’s loving, but she’s also human, with pride, ambition and moments of insecurity. I spend time understanding why she reacts the way she does, especially in her competitive moments with Alfred,” explained Manenje.
The character of Evelyn is loving and caring, yet also competitive, as evidenced in her dynamic with principal Alfred. Viewers have gotten to see different sides of the character, a mother and an ambitious woman, and have been able to connect with her.

Elite continuity undermines justice in democracy
IT SEEMS a strange day to wake up to news that cast former presidents Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma as allies — cartoons must surely follow soon that strangely, different to public opinion, will show them on the same side of history, different to earlier satire that painted their rivalry as one that reshaped the country.
