Our favourite on-screen slay queen: Where did Skeem Saam actress Rachel Kanutu disappear to?
She brought the soft life game on-screen and introduced Mzansi to the concept of slay queens way before we thought about it. Years later, we are all wondering where did Lesego Marakalla disappear to?
The bubbly actress is best known for her on-screen character on Skeem Saam as Rachel Kanutu. She joined Skeem Saam in 2011 before she bowed out of the drama series in 2020.
Her thrust into the limelight came in the backdrop of theatre plays. In the drama series, Rachel Kunutu starred as a high maintenance sugar baby with a strict mother.
However, in 2020 she made a dramatic exit from the drama series. The showrunners revealed that the bubbly actress was exiting the show to pursue her studies full time. Her character also left her family behind to study medicine in Cuba.
Soon after exiting the drama series, she went awol on Mzansi. The celebrated multi-award-winning actress has since privatised her social media accounts and stepped out. However, she has no plans to make any appearances on small screens in the mix of things.

She has since revealed that she has joined On Point Health Care as a brand ambassador. However, she also assists rape survivors and hosts healing sessions for them. The health care centre is run by Boitumelo Ntsoane, a qualified pharmacist and a health column writer for various publications.
No doubt she has kept her love life under wraps. After her thrust into the limelight, little is known about Lesego Marakalla’s love life even years later. She has been implicated in these daring relationships. We only witnessed Rachel getting married in the drama series, only for her to turn into a runaway bride. What drama!
This freckle-faced queen is truly exquisite in her simplicity! From impeccable acting to charity work and prospects in script-writing, she enjoys a laid-back life with everything good around her. When she is not working, she is most likely spending time with her family and close friends. A roller-coaster that only goes up.
