Vele on preparing for rape storyline with Sicelo

TV presenter and actress Vele Manenje joined Skeem Saam to play Evelyn, Tobias’ mother, alongside Sicelo Buthelezi. Tobias was convicted of rape and received 15 years in prison for raping Ntswaki.

Her reaction to seeing her so getting thrown into jail was one for the books. On Instagram, Vele spoke about how she and Sicelo were tasked with the heavy duty of approaching the storyline with sensitivity.

“While we are careful how we approach it in order to tell this story on behalf of all the parents that have been in this situation and all the men that have suffered to the misfortune of not understanding CONSENT. We had to interrogate it from a mother and son perspective as a unit and as individuals.”

She noted the positive responses they received and the much-needed conversation which was sparked on social media.

“I just want to take this moment to show gratitude for how our efforts have been received. It has not been an easy journey at all.”
