Johannesburg – Thursday, 8 October 2026 \u2014 Skeem Saam welcomes actor Josias Dos Moleele to the world of Turf, where he steps into the shoes of the much-loved character Marothi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marothi, originally played by Macks Papo, became a memorable part of the Skeem Saam story world. Over the years, Macks brought his own depth, energy and personality to the character, making Marothi his own and earning a special place in the hearts of viewers across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier this year, Macks returned; however, for personal reasons, he was unable to continue filming with the production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Josias Moleele takes on the role, he brings his own interpretation to Marothi as the character enters a new chapter. Taking over a role that has already built a strong connection with audiences comes with its own responsibility, but Josias steps in ready to make Marothi his own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Viewers can expect a fresh take on the character while Marothi Printworks continues to form part of the ever-evolving world of Turf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Catch Josias Moleele\u2019s first appearance as Marothi on Thursday, 15 October 2026, on Skeem Saam, weekdays at 19:30 on SABC 1 and SABC Plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
