‘PAXTON GETS AWAY WITH EVERYTHING’  

Viewers of the educational soapie Skeem Saam have vowed to stop watching the show after Paxton got away with stealing Mosebjadi’s short story and winning the R10 000 that was meant for her.   

According to Briefly, audiences are not pleased with the recent storyline and don’t understand why Thabiso Molokomme’s character Paxton never gets punished for his crimes.   

Fans have also called for the Kgomo family to be scrapped from the show as they find their roles and storylines unnecessary.    

Some viewers even urged producers to write out Molokomme’s character as they are not pleased with his acting.  

The writers seem to be using the same script they used with Leshole’s role with their latest Turfloop learner Mosebjadi. They’re implying that children from middle-class households such as Paxton and Mahlatse are smarter at school, while children like Mosebjadi, who are from low-income households are not.   

Mosebjadi might make it in life after suffering for years just like Mkhabela’s character, who in the end was elevated to a hero status.    

SKEEM SAAM’ VIEWERS REACT

“Am retiring watching #skeemsaam I think the writer is Paxton’s father,Lehasa’s best friend, Kgomo’s brother, and Magongwa’s uncle. There’s nothing educational about this soapie. Bad people are always winning, bye bahlali. I feel sorry for Mosebjadi. If you are poor, you are disadvantaged.”  

@khai_x_:  

“It’s just shocking that even the teachers cannot see that a student like Paxton wouldn’t be able to write and submit a short story that could be considered in a competition.”
