“Skeem Saam” actor Mahlatsi Moropo is having an incredible year as he continues to make significant strides in his life and career. The young star, known for his impressive acting skills, has been celebrating a series of wins, both on and off the screen.
Last month, Mahlatsi was honored with the Viewer’s Choice Best Actor award at the Royalty Soapie Awards, a recognition that solidified his place as one of the most talented young actors in the industry. Adding to his string of achievements, Mahlatsi recently bought his first car, a moment he describes as a dream come true.
The 20-year-old actor from Limpopo opened up about the recent positive changes in his life. “This is my first car,” he shared enthusiastically. “Fun fact, I’ve given her a name already. I call her Snowy. It still feels unreal. I got my new baby a few days back and still feel excited when I get inside.”
Owning a car has always been a significant goal for Mahlatsi, who sees it as a symbol of independence and comfort. “I wanted to own a car for comfort and convenience. It was on my bucket list for this year, and marking it off has made me so happy,” he said.
The last two months have been particularly joyous for Mahlatsi, who describes this period as the happiest time of his life. “I feel blessed and highly favoured. Winning the Royalty Soapie Award is a surreal experience, and I’m still pinching myself to see if it’s real. It’s an incredible honour to be recognized by the industry and peers this way,” he expressed.
Reflecting on his recent achievements, Mahlatsi shared his feelings of pride and accomplishment. “I feel a sense of gratitude for the opportunities I’ve had and the people who supported me along the way. It’s a reminder that I’m exactly where I’m meant to be, doing what I love. It gives me a confidence boost and motivates me to keep pushing boundaries and striving for even greater heights,” he added.
Mahlatsi hopes that his success will serve as inspiration for others, especially young people who look up to him. “It’s a privilege to be in a position where I can make a positive difference in the lives of others,” he said. He acknowledges that five years ago, his life looked completely different. “I was still in the process of learning and growing, and didn’t have a clear picture of where I’d be today. While I had aspirations and goals, I wasn’t sure how they’d unfold. Looking back, I’m amazed at how far I’ve come and how much I’ve accomplished.”
The young actor also expressed deep gratitude for the overwhelming support he receives from his fans. “Your love and support mean everything. Your kind words and messages of encouragement have made a significant impact. You’re the driving force behind my success. Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration and motivation. Your support is a gift, and it’s appreciated more than words can express.”
Looking ahead, Mahlatsi has ambitious plans for his future. “I’m continuing to grow and improve my skills, exploring new creative outlets, and focusing on giving back,” he concluded. With his determination and talent, Mahlatsi Moropo is certainly a star to watch as he continues to soar to new heights in his career and personal life.
