Molepo's exit from the soapie
Sources from the soapie revealed to Sunday World in March 2025 that the legendary actor was written out of the soapie.
The mole added that Kabisi was never coming back from Rustenburg, and that would be the end of the role for Molepo.
"The writers decided that they no longer have a story for Kabisi. Molepo’s contract with Morula Pictures was supposed to end in April 2025. But they ended it prematurely, in September 2024, cutting it short by six months,” said the source.
The SABC announced in January 2025 that they will bid farewell to the beloved characters of Kabisi Moroka, played by Mpho J Molepo, and Anathi Mpofu, played by Nicholas “Nick Soul” Nkuna.
"They have both done a stellar job portraying these characters. And they make their exit towards the end of March 2025,” said the show
