Hey there, soap opera fanatics! If you’re anything like me, you probably keep an ear to the ground when it comes to the latest drama—not just on-screen but off-screen too. Recently, the rumor mill has been churning around “Skeem Saam” star Eric Macheru, better known as Leeto, and his fellow actress Lethabo Mekoa, who plays the role of Ntswaki. So, what’s the scoop?
Let’s dive right in! Speculation had been swirling about whether Leeto and Ntswaki were more than just actors sharing a set. Eric’s been quite vocal in praising Lethabo’s acting chops on social media, and you know what that means—fans started connecting the dots and conjuring up romance tales that could rival any telenovela plot!
However, Eric has finally decided it’s time to clear the air. In a recent Instagram post, he dropped a picture of himself with Mekoa and put the rumors to rest once and for all. In his caption, Leeto made it crystal clear that their relationship is strictly platonic. He affectionately referred to Mekoa as like a younger sister to him.
But wait, there’s more to the man behind Leeto! Outside of the drama and speculation, Eric is happily married and the proud father of a little prince—King Macheru. I mean, how adorable is that name? He often shares glimpses of his life as a devoted dad, and it’s heartwarming to see a celebrated actor step into his family role with such pride. Eric’s social media is sprinkled with sweet moments of him and King, showcasing not just his love as a father, but also his commitment to raising his son right.
In wrapping up, it’s a relief to know that while fans adore the idea of on-screen romance, our boy Leeto is all about keeping things real! So, whether he’s portraying a love interest in the dramatic world of “Skeem Saam” or being a supportive mentor to Ntswaki, it seems like he’s got his priorities straight—dedicated to his acting craft and family life.
