Lydia Mokgokoloshi, the renowned South African actress, has gained immense popularity for her roles in Sepedi drama “Bophelo ke Semphekgo” and the SABC1 soapie “Skeem Saam” as the beloved character Koko Mantsha.
However, fans have been curious about Mokgokoloshi’s absence from “Skeem Saam,” where she portrays Katlego Peterson’s grandmother. In July 2020, Sowetan reported that the legendary actress decided to take a break from acting after playing the role of Koko Mantsha since the soapie’s inception in 2011.
According to the educational soapie, Mokgokoloshi remains a part of the show, albeit on a recurring basis, resulting in fewer appearances on screen. Sumanya Mogola, the spokesperson for the soapie, explained that they wanted to prioritize her well-being, considering her sensitive age. The hectic shooting schedule could potentially exhaust her, so they aimed to provide her with ample rest, care, and comfort.
In 2020, Mokgokoloshi’s character in “Skeem Saam” relocated from Turfloop in Limpopo, where the predominant storyline takes place, to her own home. This move coincided with the actress taking a break from the show.
While the details regarding Mokgokoloshi’s current activities or plans remain unknown, her devoted fans can cherish the moments she has shared on screen throughout her illustrious career.
