As a child, he was put under a lot of pressure to succeed, and he never let his parents down. He rose to become one of his community’s most well-known speakers. He only wants the best for his children and will not accept anything less than stellar academic results from them. He’s a devoted parent and devoted husband.
He’s the type of person you’d want to be in a crisis with.
He and his wife own and operate a supermarket in Turfloop. He does not smoke, but at social gatherings he appreciates a decent beer or glass of wine. He has given his children so much and is careful not to spoil them.
His wife, however, is the opposite of that. Which makes it seem like John fails to be the head of the house in his family because everything his wife says goes.
He also does not like fighting and does not put his masculinity into use as any other man would. Most of the time, on Skeem Saam, he walks away from situations where he has to stand up and be a man. Does that make him a weak man?
His own family does not trust that he would even be able to protect them as big as he is. Instead, his wife is the one who makes all the boss moves. Do you agree that John Mapulta on Skeem Saam is a weak man that is unable to stand up for himself?
