Former Muvhango actor Lesley Musina says he likes his new character Fefo’s daring approach.
EX-MUVHANGO star, Lesley Musina says joining Skeem Saam is a dream come true.
It’s only been three months since he joined the SABC1 drama series.
The 44-year-old, known for his roles as Ndalamo in Muvhango, Leitlho in Queen Modjadji, and Chief Magistrate Bonginkosi Khumalo in The Executives, spoke to Daily Sun about his new family.
“I’ve always admired the show from a distance. It’s an excellent production, one of the most-watched shows in the country. It’s educational and informative, catering to the entire family and various LSMs,” he said.
The former Muvhango actor said Fefo is a promoter who mostly stages beauty pageants.
“He met Melita while she was still a beauty queen. However, he wasn’t interested in a romantic relationship with her at the time as he was dating a lady named Tilly. Melita was jealous of Tilly since she was also a beauty queen and dating Fefo. Melita saw her as direct competition. Tilly died mysteriously, and Fefo and Melita started dating. Melita gave birth to their daughter, Jacquie,” he said.
The relationship didn’t last, as Fefo always suspected Melita had a hand in Tilly’s murder.
“Fefo now shows up 14 years later to salvage a relationship with his daughter, with whom he’s gotten into contact via social media. Fefo also has ulterior motives and unfinished business with Melita.”

Lesley said he likes his character’s daring approach.
“He’s a go-getter and never gives up. He always goes for what he wants and will do whatever it takes to get it,” he said.
Lesley said he knows a few real-life Fefos he used as reference for the character.
“He’s mysterious, so I’m able to use different mechanisms to tell the story and bring it to life. I can’t wait to see how the story plays out and where the writers take it.”
The actor said this role is currently his main project.
“I do have other projects in the pipeline. However, my main focus at the moment is Skeem Saam,” he said.
Lesley expressed appreciation for his fans’ unwavering support and love.
“They must keep watching Skeem Saam. The best is yet to come. This is only the tip of the iceberg,” he said.
