Hungani Ndlovu has been announced that he would be joining Skeem Sam and taking on the character of Thabo Maputla. It was previously played by Cornet Mamabolo, who had left that SABC 1 show to focus on his other business rather than being an actor. He was one of those people who was part of the show when it started and made headlines. They got a lot of exposure after Generations fired its workers and had to stop production for a period of few two months. When he left the show, it was a hard moment for his fans and followers.
But it happens all the time. Even the very same person who will be taking on the character of Thabo has also left Scandal, which was hard for his fans. It may be possible that people who are actually following him will get to see him on another show as Skeem Sam. In his previous show, he was seen as someone who was acting in Sepedi and English in most of his scenes. It should not be hard for him to take on a TV soapie that majors with Sepedi. It has been reported that Skeem Sam has gained the most viewership than Generations the lagacy.
It has overtaken Generations, and now they are bringing in another great actor, and surely they also want to keep good work high. That means all those actors and actresses are doing a great job, especially those who stood by the show from the beginning. It will become a sad moment for the character of John Maputla to leave. As for Cornet Mamabolo, it would be amazing to see him on another production because actors and actresses move to different challenges and opportunities at all times. Sometimes it takes that one move to get the biggest opportunity of a lifetime. A lot of actors and actresses would like to see themselves working for international TV shows or movies.
