I mean, come on! After all the drama and emotional rollercoasters we’ve been through with this character, the thought of losing him for good was almost too much to bear.
Lehasa has been a central figure in the show, captivating us with his complex storyline filled with love, betrayal, and moral dilemmas. His fierce love for Pretty led him down a dark path, and when he took drastic measures to protect her, it felt like a classic case of “love makes you do crazy things.” But then came that gut-wrenching court scene where we saw a vulnerable side of him that we hadn’t seen before. Watching him grapple with the consequences of his actions had us all on the edge of our seats, wondering if this was truly the end for our beloved character.
But wait! Before you start mourning the loss of Lehasa forever, there’s a silver lining.

What new twists and turns can we expect while Lehasa is away?
The producers have made it clear that this temporary exit is a strategic move to keep the plot fresh and engaging. With Lehasa out of the picture for a while, the writers have the perfect opportunity to explore new storylines and characters that have been waiting in the wings. Sure, there will be a void without our charismatic anti-hero, but this opens the door for other characters to step into the spotlight and shine.
And let’s be real—Lehasa’s eventual return is going to be epic. Just imagine the buildup! The anticipation will keep us glued to our screens, eager to see how his story unfolds after this dramatic turn of events. Will he seek redemption? Will he come back with a vengeance? The possibilities are endless, and that’s what makes this show so thrilling.
In the meantime, we can look forward to the unexpected twists and turns that Skeem Saam is known for. The writers have a knack for keeping us on our toes, and this latest development is no exception. Whether it’s through Lehasa’s eventual comeback or the introduction of new faces, we can count on the show to deliver the drama we crave.
