No Hints from Skeem Saam Production Team or Teasers
Unfortunately, the April teasers shown by the Skeem Saam page on X reveal nothing about his injury. There is no mention of whether he’ll recover, or if he might be permanently disabled. The production not releasing any teasers on this storyline has started rumors, with some fans saying the silence might mean that Paxton’s injury is a long-term plot twist.
Social Media Reactions: ‘Karma or Too Far?’
Viewer reactions have been mixed. While some feel sorry for Paxton, many say this is karma for the chaos he’s caused throughout the show:
@Zama: “I don’t feel sorry for Pax. I wonder if is permanently disabled though”
@lmao: “Gopane knocked Paxton’s knees with that little hammer he used to carry around.”
@ananuki18: “I’m so glad Pax won’t have his mobility anymore, he’s such a naughty child—everything he touches gets ruined.”
@mpume: “This is definitely karma. Pax is such a horrible child hey, he stole Mosebjadi’s project and made Lewatle lie to her dad. Serves him well.”
@hillyy: “I know Pax is a brat but he’s just a kid. He didn’t deserve this. I wonder if he’ll ever be able to walk again.”
Skeem Saam’s ‘IT’ Couple…And Then?… Pretty Calls Off the Engagement
As if that wasn’t enough drama, Pretty dropped another bomb on the viewers after requesting to be removed as Lehasa’s proxy and called off the lobola negotiations. She found out, he had been cheating on her with his in-prison doctor, Dr. Blue. The betrayal shook viewers, especially since many were rooting for Prehasa[Pretty and Lehasa]
With so much left in the air, viewers are left hanging with every scene, waiting to see whether Skeem Saam will finally address Paxton’s condition. Until then, we’re left to wonder: is Paxton’s fate sealed, or is there still hope for recovery?
Do you think Paxton will recover? Was it necessary for Pretty to call off the engagement?
