Patrick Seleka shows off his new skills.
Keep a lookout for two new sets on Skeem Saam that have been built for Kat (Patrick Seleka) and Leshole (Thabo Mkhabela).
The sets have been created for Season 5 which started two weeks ago and they offer new insights into both characters.
The first set is Leshole's house, which means we're going to fully experience what happens in his life for the first time. He lives with his alcoholic father so the new set explores their relationship and the abuse and heartbreak that Leshole suffers as a result of his father's addiction.
According to Skeem Saam writer and publicist Bonga Percy Vilakazi, the show chose to extend into Leshole's home because of how many young people suffer the same problem.
The second set takes Kat into a new world and it includes new characters. Kat, who's always enjoyed cooking, goes to culinary school in Polokwane so we'll get to know his fellow students and lecturers while he gets
very involved in things.
He gets so involved that Patrick had to go on a cooking course so he didn't chop off his fingers when the heat turns up in the kitchen. The show also researched real life culinary students to find out what their lives are like.
Patrick's teachers.
