Former Skeem Saam actor-turned-resort owner, Cornet Mamabolo had social media buzzing this week when he posted a video of himself dancing.

The former The River star who got replaced by Hungani Ndlovu on Skeem Saam played the role of Mapitsi's husband, Tbose Maputla.

Social media user @tshoaniiey shared a TikTok video of Mamabolo's dance moves on X on Tuesday, 3 June.

The video comes after content creator Kay Mahapa requested Mamabolo's return on the soapie as Tbose Maputla.

Mahapa said: "Bring back the real Tbose Maputla."

Fans of the show requested Mamabolo's return when his previous character, now played by Hungani Ndlovu forgave Mapitsi (Mogau Mothlatswi) for cheating on him.

PIWE commented on social media:

"Mapitsi never cheated when she was with you."

Mamabolo, who portrayed the first Thabo "Tbose" Maputla left the SABC1 soapie in 2021 to pursue his businesses.
