HIS SKEEM SAAM' CHARACTER Mamabolo, who joined Skeem Saam in 2021 played the role of teenager Thabo until his character grew, got married, and left Turfloop for a business opportunity overseas.

SABC 1's educational soapie revealed that the actor has taken a break from the show to focus on his interests.

The show revealed the news on its Twitter account in September after a viewer asked the show if Mamabolo is permanently leaving.

Mamabolo is the second star to join The River in season six after legendary actor Siyabonga Thwala, who joined 1Magic's telenovela as Bangizwe Zwane.

Drum Magazine reveals that Thwala's character is a businessman who wants to win Lindiwe Dikana's heart.

Thwala joins the show after the departures of actors Hlomla Dandala who plays Lindiwe Dikana's husband Zweli Dikana, Lawrence Maleka who plays Zolani, and Tango Ncetezo who plays Paulina.
