Skeem Saam viewers are gatvol with the writers of SABC 1's educational drama after Lehasa Maphosa (played by Cedric Fourie) was forced to pay lobola for his pregnant baby mama, Khwezi Gasela (played by Samukele Mkhize).
--
The viewers are calling on the writers to stop putting their favourite couple through pain and suffering and allow them the happiness that they deserve.

KHWEZI MUST GO! The petition that has garnered 61 signatures reads, As Skeem Saam viewers, we feel that the Prehasa/Khwezi triangle has been overdone by many shows and we are tired of seeing it.
--
The viewer says for the first time they have a couple that they as viewers believe in as a country. The direction that the writers have taken by forcing the Khwezikazi character down our throats is very upsetting and we feel our opinions on Twitter as viewers are not taken into account.

Numerous Facebook fan pages, groups and twitter pages have been started on behalf of Prehasa. We feel Khwezi is unnecessary and feel either her storyline must change, be removed from the show or we will stop watching the show.
Another key point of the petition also states that some viewers have already stopped watching since Khwezi came back.
--
We have started this petition to get our point across loud and clear before you lose more viewers because of her. Prehasa is the main reason for the high viewership, said the viewer.
I guess my break has officially become a divorce.. I was really hoping this storyline wouldn't get this far..But today's tweets just sealed the deal. I'm done with #skeemsam #Skeemsaam I can't stand abuse, Khwezi and Candice's storyline feels like abuse to me @SkeemSaam3 https://t.co/EujtFqS5Tk

LEHASA DOES NOT LOVE PRETTY Some viewers took to Twitter to express their disappointment with how Lehasa has been treating Pretty. Some have stated that he does not love her, he is pretending.
Lehasa must stop lying, he doesn t love Pretty otherwise he wouldn t put her through what she s going through #SkeemSaam

Lehasa is doing Pretty dirty yooh #SkeemSaam

On Thursday's episode (6 October), Pretty was shipped into a hotel room where she was stuck alone, ordering room service while Lehasa was being forced into marrying Khwezi.
Khwezi's greedy uncle told the Maphosa family over the phone that Lehasa needs to marry Khwezi if he does not, who will?
It is either that or he will never see his child and we all know how Lehasa acts when kids are mentioned. A softie of note.
Funny that Lehasa accused Pretty and her family wanting to get money from him by pinning a baby on him but he can t see that that s what Khwezi and her family wanna do. Stlaela fela sa senatla #SkeemSaam
