He currently appeared on the soap opera SABC 1 Skeem Saam.
Rapetsoa is considered the father of municipal theater in Limpopo after producing, directing, and starring in several plays in a career spanning more than four decades.
He also mentored some of the country’s best actors in the province, including the late Skeem Saam actor Charles Maja, who died in April, as well as Thobela FM host and actor Sebasa Mogale.
Some of Rapetsoa’s popular plays include the play “Get Down” and “My Pride.”
He also founded the Paul Rapetsoa Institute of Dramatic Arts.
Below are some of the tributes:
