Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Despite having a star-studded cast exiting the show, Skeem Saam has been making all sorts of headlines of late. It has fast become one of Mzansi’s finest. It is that fav drama series we all live to hate. But the drama series has seen a mass exodus of actors of late. Here is a list of actors who have exited Skeem Saam in the last two years.

Leshole Mabitsela

Rising star actor Thabo Mkhabela played Leshole Mabitsela. He has been playing the character Leshole Mabitsela for the first season. However, he exited the show in the mix of things, citing that he is temporarily taking a break.

Neither Skeem Saam nor the actor confirmed his departure from the show as his exit is part of the storyline and temporary. However, rumour has it that he dumped the show because the showrunners were not paid enough.

Thabo Maputla

No doubt he had made all sorts of headlines when he confirmed his exit from the SABC drama series Skeem Saam. Thabo Maputla played the on-screen character of Cornet Mamabolo. He confirmed his exit from the show when he revealed that he was taking a break to focus on his interests.

In the wake of his exit, he focused on his business empire, paying more attention to  Digni Financial Services. However, he once hogged the headlines for the wrong reasons when he revealed that he was not getting much as he hoped for.
