Lethabo Thangoane has captured audiences with his portrayal of Pitsi in the popular South African soap opera Skeem Saam. As the child of Tbose and Mapitsi, Lethabo brought warmth and innocence to a character who quickly became a fan favorite. However, recent developments in his young career have sparked much discussion among viewers and fans alike.
Rumors initially suggested that Lethabo had been fired from Skeem Saam due to complaints regarding his acting and the portrayal of his character. This news spread like wildfire, causing concern among his supporters and fans of the show. However, conflicting reports have emerged, indicating that the decision was not related to any issues with his performance. Instead, it appears that Lethabo’s family made the choice for him to step down from acting at this time, prioritizing his well-being and personal development.
Diving into the show’s storyline, Skeem Saam has decided to replace the Pitsi character, which may signify a transition phase for the show as it adapts to new developments. On Monday, September 2, viewers will witness a pivotal moment when Tbose and Mapitsi embark on a journey to establish their independence in their new double-storey home. This eagerly anticipated episode features beautifully designed interiors, including marble-topped stairs and a tasteful earthy color palette, setting the stage for the couple’s new life together.
Since Season 1, Meikie Maputla has been the matriarch of her household, managing family affairs, being a supportive wife, and raising two successful sons. However, in Season 13, she begins to experience empty nest syndrome as her matriarchal role transitions to Mapitsi in a new Maputla home. Who could forget the naive teenagers who navigated a teenage pregnancy? Now, after a healthy son, university degrees, careers, and a wedding, we are proud of the adults Thabo and Mapitsi have become together.
