rt.Cornet Mamabolo, a popular Skeem Saam actor, is currently recovering at home from a damaged arm. The gifted actor, who portrays Thabo “T’bose” Maputla in the drama series, was hurt while mountain biking.
He said he was healing well in an interview with the Daily Sun.
“I’m fine; it’s nothing serious. I went down while cycling and began to feel pain many hours later. I was diagnosed with a fracture, which is why I’m wearing a cast. Doctors say I’ll have to wear it for the next few weeks, but my arm should be fine by October,” he stated.
The 31-year-old also said that his injury had forced him to take a pause from filming the show. The actor, whose character recently married his long-term girlfriend Mapitsi Magongwa, said the following few days would be exciting for his character.
“The pair is on their honeymoon and will return to the stunning news that T’bose has been offered a job overseas. This will lead to a lot of back-and-forth between them, and the drama will put their marriage to the test,” he predicted. Cornet, who is also a father in real life, admitted that he used some aspects of his personal life on the show.
“On an emotional level, T’bose isn’t the same as me. However, there are some personal references that I use. I also do a good job with my character since the cast and crew help me delve deeper emotionally.”
The actor, who has been on the show from its inception, described his experience as “wonderful” and said he was happy of his progress.
