Skeem Saam actress Amanda Manku says ‘her father was her best friend’ before he got arrested for murdering her mother and grandmother,
Skeem Saam’s Lizzy discusses her mother and grandmother’s murders on the Mommy Diaries Podcast, revealing that her father was once her best friend before he committed the crimes.
Manku says at first, she thought she was fine but 2024 was the year that hit her that they were no more.
“I did not deal with it; I died. I think the day that they passed away was the day that something died within me,” she said.
“My mom had me when she was 15, so she was my friend, and my grandmother automatically became my mother. So, when both of them died, for the longest time I was angry with God in the nature in which they departed,” she said
Her mom and grandmother were the center of her life, while her father was her best friend.
“My pillar of strength and this is now the man who is arrested for the murder of my mother and grandmother. I had the perfect parents who had me when they were very young,” says the actress.
