Ntswaki from Skeem Saam storyline
The advent of Ntswaki Maputla, a new kid who has been dubbed rowdy, has shocked Turfloop. This Ntswaki is who? The Kunutu cousins were the first Turfloop guys to notice the fresh and charming Ntswaki (played by Lethabo Mekoa), and it would be an understatement to say that they fell in love.
Teenager Ntswaki is staying with the Maputla family for the holidays, and based on what she’s been up to, it’s clear that things are going to get difficult for the Maputlas.
Ntswaki has received a warm welcome from the Maputlas. Meikie Maputla (played by Harriet Manamela) seems to have taken a special liking to the teenager as she loves a hard worker and Ntswaki has been doing just that. However, what Meikie does not know is that Ntswaki is about to bring nothing but stress for her. She does as she pleases and will not be told what to do. She lives carefree.
