“Skeem Saam” star Amanda Manku remembers her late gogo, who was allegedly murdered by her father.
Amanda Manku is still mourning the death of her grandmother and her mother. The actress shared a video of the old woman getting ready to take a picture with her and revealed how much she misses her. She wrote, “Dimakatso’s grandmother. We miss you all the time. Legoabe’s child.”
Amanda’s father, William, his girlfriend Nonhlanhla, and David Khoza were arrested as suspects in the murders of her grandmother and mother, who were killed in 2021.

“On January 10, 2024, three suspects appeared in the Lebowakgomo Magistrate court in connection with the murder of two women, aged 70 and 45. The mother and daughter were shot and killed by unknown men on 4 May 2021 at Makgophong Village, Zebediela.
