Spelling bee competition: ‘Skeem Saam’s’ Wallet takes on ‘Uzalo’s’ Nyawo

Viewers of SABC 1’s educational soapie, Skeem Saam are about to witness the show’s third crossover this week between Wallet and Uzalo’s Nyawo.  

The soapie had its first crossover in December 2020 when Mxolisi from Uzalo terrorised the Turfloop residents and when Kat and Kwaito visited 7de Laan in April.  

THE SPELLING BEE COMPETITION  

Uzalo’s fan-favourite policeman, Nyawo will take on Wallet from Skeem Saam at the National Spelling Bee Competition.  

The TVSA Thursday, 23 December teaser reads:  

“Nyawo takes on Wallet in the spelling bee competition.” 

Viewers of the SABC 1 soapies are in for a surprise when the two walking dictionaries will take on each other at the competition.  

It all began when Nyawo recently won R50 000 at the KwaMashu Talent Show and received an invitation from the National Spelling Bee Competition.  

Nyawo has been preparing for the competition with the help of his colleague, Lily Dongwe, and other police officers.

He was KwaMashu’s resident car hijacker and ran away just as the police were about to nab him and stole from the Turfloop residents.
