Skeem Saam Actress Zizo Sobutyu Reacts to Election Results, Leaves South Africans Talking

South Africans have been talking about actress Zizo Sobutyu after she shared her thoughts on the recent local government election results. The talented actress, who is popularly known for playing Mosebjadi on SABC1’s popular television drama Skeem Saam, caught the attention of social media users with her comments about politics.

Zizo, who is fluent in both Sepedi and isiXhosa, surprised some viewers after a video of her speaking isiXhosa circulated on social media. Although many people know her character as someone who speaks Sepedi on television, the actress demonstrated her ability to communicate fluently in her mother tongue.

In the video shared on X, Zizo appeared to express her frustration with the Democratic Alliance (DA) and people who voted for the political party during the recent elections. Her comments quickly attracted attention, with several social media users sharing their opinions about what she had to say.

The actress’s language skills also became a major talking point, as some viewers praised her for being multilingual. Others pointed out that isiXhosa is her mother tongue and that there was nothing surprising about her speaking it so fluently.

Some fans also used the opportunity to compliment her beauty and personality, while others joined the political discussion sparked by her remarks.

Her video comes at a time when South Africa is still discussing the outcome of the 2026 local government elections, which have seen major changes in political support across different municipalities.

The conversation surrounding Zizo’s video shows how celebrities can quickly become part of important national discussions, especially when they share their personal opinions about politics.

Meanwhile, Skeem Saam viewers continue to recognise her as Mosebjadi, but this time, it was her comments outside the television drama that got people talking.
