Mapitsi’s affair exposed Live on Air
#SkeemSaam viewers are in shock following a dramatic turn of events that has shaken the core of one of the show’s most stable couples.
The marriage between Mapitsi Maputla (Mogau Motlhatswi) and Thabo “Tbose” Maputla (Hungani Ndlovu) is on the brink of collapse after Mapitsi’s explosive affair with DJ Thomas (Tiisetso Thoka).
What started as subtle flirtation quickly escalated into a deep emotional entanglement, with Mapitsi increasingly drawn to Thomas’ charm and emotional availability.
“She feels safe, understood, and secure with Thomas feelings absent with Tbose,” a source close to the storyline revealed, explaining the emotional complexity behind her actions.
The affair reached its peak on May 14, when Mapitsi and Thomas’s private argument was accidentally broadcast live on Berry FM. The shocking slip exposed their secret relationship to the entire Turfloop community and, more importantly, to the millions of loyal Skeem Saam viewers watching from home.
The fallout has been intense. Mapitsi finds herself isolated and publicly shamed, while Tbose is left grappling with heartbreak and the looming possibility of divorce.
As the storyline unfolds, Mapitsi must now choose between mending her broken home or pursuing what she believes might be true love. But things get even messier, DJ Thomas has now been linked to Nthati (Koketso Machaka), Mapitsi’s longtime rival, stirring even more drama.
With emotions flaring and loyalties tested, Skeem Saam continues to deliver gripping drama that keeps fans glued to their screens.
