Austin Mothapo, who played the role of Noah on Skeem Saam, exited the show and disappeared from the screens.
If we remember pretty well, Noah confessed to his mother, Mokgadi Maputla and his granny Marry Motloga that he burnt down the factory. He was terrified for his life and future if the truth came out. Evidence came forward that the young man had used a petrol bomb to burn down the factory.
His friend Koloi was hurt, and his friend led to his mother’s death. Although Mary and Mokgadi tried their hardest to keep him out of jail, they couldn’t as there was evidence.
Eventually, the boy attended court and was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment after his sentencing, and viewers weren’t specific if he was leaving the soapie indefinitely.
When Noah went to the jail cell, he saw his father, Sikes, a gang leader.
Surprisingly enough, Sikes is an adult, but Noah went to a juvenile prison. Skeem Sam left the viewers with a huge question mark. What happened after Noah was in jail with his dad?

Gains and return to Skeem Sam
On Skeem Saam, he played a very skinny high school pupil. Now he has gained weight in real life.
He is definitely on the chubby side of life now. If he returns to Skeem Saam, it will be hard to explain how a prisoner comes back looking so nourished. We’re not sure if he’ll ever return to the screen, but his fans miss
