uBettina Wethu is a South African adaptation of the Colombian telenovela Yo soy Betty, la fea, also known as Ugly Betty.
The series follows the journey of a wholesome, intelligent-but-gawky people-pleaser with a dated, unsophisticated sense of style, who finds her self-worth and image challenged when she is employed at Nubia, a brand management company, where people value image over substance.
Bettina Sikhakane is a kind-hearted, smart, career-focused woman, with a dream of running her own company.
When she lands a job as the PA to Nubia's new MD, she has to contend with her colleague's assumption that because of her quirky style and kindness, she must be stupid.
She has to battle her growing love for her boss, clouding her already blurred boundaries and posing a risk to a job that means everything to her.
