Harriet Manamela shares heartfelt thanks post-surgery and cheers Florence Masebe's Skeem Saam debut

Skeem Saam actor Harriet Manamela has assured viewers of the SABC1 drama series that she is alive and well after undergoing hip replacement surgery. 

Taking to her Instagram account recently, the seasoned actor said she had the surgery at the beginning of the year, hence the unexplained break from shooting the series.

"Thank you to everyone for wishing me well even though there was no clear explanation why I had to be off the screen, and production had to find a sit-in for me. Your support and wishing me well humbles my heart, and you are all much appreciated," wrote Harriet in her lengthy post.
