Lehasa Sentenced to Life Imprisonment: Is Cedric Fourie Exiting Skeem Saam?
Hello, Skeem Saam fans! The latest developments on our beloved SABC soapie have been nothing short of explosive. The fate of Lehasa Maphosa, a character we’ve all been following closely, has taken a shocking turn. Last Friday, viewers were left in disbelief as Lehasa was found guilty of murder and the unlawful discharge of a firearm.
As the drama unfolds, the stakes are higher than ever. Reports from SABC Education suggest that Lehasa has been handed a life sentence. This has led to widespread speculation that Cedric Fourie, the talented actor behind Lehasa, might be bidding farewell to the show. While some believe this could mark the end of Lehasa’s journey on Skeem Saam, others think Cedric may simply be taking a break from the intense spotlight.
Now, let’s take a moment to appreciate the man who brought Lehasa to life. Cedric Anthony Fourie, born and raised in Orlando, Soweto, had an inspiring journey before becoming a household name. Raised by a single mother, Cedric attended several schools, including Greyville Primary, Princess Primary, and Athlone Boys High, before graduating with a degree in engineering from the prestigious University of the Witwatersrand.
Despite a successful career as a networking engineer at companies like Ericsson, Huawei Technologies, and Mobax Group, Cedric’s passion for the arts eventually led him to pursue acting. His dedication and talent landed him cameo roles in well-known shows like Sokhulu & Partners, Generations, and Isibaya, paving the way for his big break.
Cedric’s portrayal of Lehasa Maphosa in Season 5 of Skeem Saam truly showcased his acting prowess. Lehasa, a complex character known for his sharp business acumen and manipulative tendencies, quickly became a fan favorite. Despite the character’s dark side, Cedric insists that they aren’t the same. “I share one or two similarities with Lehasa, but not everything! He’s a businessman and can be very manipulative to get his way, but I’m not like that,” he explained.
As Lehasa faces the possibility of life behind bars, fans are left wondering what the future holds for both the character and Cedric Fourie. Will Cedric continue to grace our screens, or is this the end of Lehasa Maphosa’s story on Skeem Saam? With so much uncertainty, one thing is for sure—whatever happens next is bound to be dramatic.
Stay tuned, Skeem Saam aficionados, because the unfolding story is sure to keep us all on the edge of our seats!
