Actor Josias Moleele, who replaced Macks Papo as Marothi Maphuthuma on Skeem Saam, recently received mixed reviews from fans of the show.
Papo, who is famously known for playing the fan-favourite character, previously made headlines when he revealed that he's got a calling to be a sangoma.
The educational soapie recently shared a post on its X account showing Moleele playing the role of Marothi.
A fan of the show revealed: "He could have been introduced as a new character building his own screen story without critics tied to the previous actor. I’m glad I’m no longer watching SkeemSaam anymore. My IQ is just too high for this Benzene show."
