TWO Skeem Saam actors are accused of swindling people.
Sunday Sun sources claimed Putla Sehlapelo and Clement Maosa made an announcement on Thobela FM that they were going to hostauditions for Skeem Saam inSeshego, Limpopo.
But Skeem Saam publicist, PercyVilakazi, said the only official auditions were held last year at the Bassline in Newtown and inHammanskraal.
He said Skeem Saam producers never set up any other auditions.
But they were later alerted that fake auditions were staged in other areas.
“For the record, we don’t charge for auditions,” he said.
Percy confirmed Putla ranworkshops in Polokwane, but stressed the workshops havenothing to do with Skeem Saam.
He told Sunday Sun: “They charge because they’re sharing their personal skills.”
The People’s Paper moles said Putla told listeners the show was looking for new faces.
They announced would-be TVactors should go to Honeymoon Lodge in Seshego for auditions.
Angry people, who attended the“auditions”, claim when theyarrived at the venue they were told to pay R250 for acting workshops.
One fuming applicant told the People’s Paper: “We were told to pay money for workshops.
“No workshops took place and we were told we would be called back for the roles we would be playing in the soapie.”
Another disappointed source explained: “We’re embarrassed by what Putla and Clement did to us.
“They took us for a ride and have stolen from us in a dubiousmanner.”
And a third furious source told the People’s Paper: “I wonder if Skeem Saam producers know these trusted actors are busy conning people with promises of putting them on TV.”
