Actor Thabo Mkhabela, who plays the role of Leshole Mabitsela on Skeem Saam, has fans worried that he will be exiting the popular soapie due to recent developments in his storyline.

Mkhabela’s character, Leshole, finally passed his proficiency test and will now be leaving Turfloop to work as a commercial pilot. Leshole will therefore leave his friends and family for six months…

Leshole a ‘Skeem Saam’ fan favourite

Fans are protective over Leshole because they relate to his life story. They have also become more connected to Mkhabela who lost his on-screen father, Big Boy Mabitsela, when veteran actor Charles Maja passed away in 2020 from a stroke.

Though they’re happy that Leshole’s dreams are finally unfolding, they feel like Leshole’s temporary exit is a double blow to the show.

Neither Skeem Saam nor Mkhabela have confirmed the his departure from the show as his exit is part of the storyline and temporary. The actor took to social media last week to promote the show on their social media channels.

THE BIG FIGHT

There was a lot of drama last week when the trio Thabo Maputla (Cornet Mamabolo), Kwaito Seakamela (Clement Maosa) and Katlego Peterson (Patrick Seleka) beat up Lehasa Maphosa (Cedric Fourie).

The boys travelled to Johannesburg to find Pretty Seakamela (Lerato Marabe) who is currently having a fling with Lehasa. They are protective over Kwaito’s younger sister (Pretty) who is in a relationship with Katlego. When Lehasa reminded the trio that Pretty is an adult who makes her own choices, things went downhill.

PREGNANT PRETTY?

According #SkeemSaam on Twitter, Pretty could be carrying Lehasa’s baby already. Lehasa will be delighted by these news as he’s been wanting a baby since his wife passed away from cancer. These news might bring Lelo Mthiyane (Amanda du Pont) back to Johannesburg as she wanted to trap Lehasa with a baby.

Pretty will be terrified as she’s still young but will get support from Lehasa as he’s ready to be a father. Lehasa and Pretty’s relationship is adored by fans of the show because it’s forbidden, unexpected and beautiful to watch.
