A fond farewell was given to the on-screen character of Lerumo, which the renowned actor Cornet Mamabolo had played on The River. Without a doubt, he is that famous actor that we all root against. His glory did not last for very long.
There is no question that his brief stint has come to an end. Since it began airing two months ago, the celebrated star actor has been a part of the drama series on 1Magic. After calling it quits on Skeem, he took a break from the public eye before appearing as a character on The River, which aired after his break.
His departure has left viewers feeling saddened, despite the fact that he was only on screen for a little over two months. Due to the fact that he will be concentrating on his business endeavors, he was only given a cameo role. On the 13th of December 2022, he posted a lengthy farewell message to the show on Instagram. In the post, he said his final goodbyes to the show.
Just after two months of service on The River, actor Cornet Mamabolo has decided to leave the show.
“As an actor… in most cases, before you get your breakthrough into the industry, all you do is wish for a show or role that can get you out there; however, once you have gotten a handle on it, then you start to really want to ACT. ” Your inner child has a strong desire to PLAY and EXPLORE, and you pray there will be interesting characters and stories to keep that part of you alive.
I knew that in order for the audience to genuinely despise Lerumo, I had to fall in love with the character myself. It’s one of those roles where, if the audience really loves you for it, it just means you did a bad job as an actor overall, and that’s not a compliment at all.
It is a role that is thrilling for an actor to play but revolting for the audience to watch them play. I am grateful that I was given the chance to play and act like a kid once more in order to bring him to life. “I have no words to express how grateful I am to have been entrusted with such an incredible yet sinister tale,” he wrote.
After that, Cornet thanked the production team for what he called a “fun ride” as he exited the building. “I am more grateful towards the production company, amazing directors that helped me with choices for the role, amazing thespians that have made it so easy for me to understand the world of the show, a special crew with so much humility, and post production for covering my sss with their final touches on all my scenes.
“I am more grateful towards the production company, amazing directors that helped me with choices for the role, and amazing thespians that have made it so easy for me to understand the world of the show. Thank you for taking the time to watch this condensed but thought-provoking story,” Cornet wrote.
His brilliant performance as Thabo on Skeem Saam unquestionably catapulted him to the forefront of numerous news outlets. His departure from Skeem Saam came as a surprise to many people, and it caused them to speculate about the factors that led to his departure. After calling it quits with Skeem Saam, it would appear that Cornet Mamabolo is also calling it quits with the American dream.
He gave up acting in order to focus on expanding his thriving business empire, despite the fact that he was one of the lead actors in the cast. He is an expert in everything and a jack of all trades at the same time.
Additionally, Mamabolo serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Digni Financial Services. Since then, the financial company has expanded its operations throughout Mzansi. In addition to the business, he has since established a foundation that bears his name; it is called the Cornet M foundation. After all, he is also the primary shareholder in the clothing brand known as Cutty Denim. [Citation needed]
