Introduced in November 2022, Khwezi’s storyline has been the subject of widespread disapproval, with many viewers calling for the character’s removal from the show.

The actress’s ability to embody the complex and often unpredictable nature of her character has not gone unnoticed, and some fans have acknowledged that her performance deserves praise, even if they despise the character she plays.
The ongoing debate surrounding Khwezi’s role in Skeem Saam highlights the emotional investment that viewers have in the show’s characters and storylines.
