So. I've known for months and deliberately didn't write about it, waiting. Wanting to see if anybody, anyone who's supposed to be covering television actually knew and would be writing about it.
M-Net's soap The Wild was the first soap to be picketed by actors who feel the contract system is unfair and had actors leave the show because of it.
Well, viewers will finally see who the latest actor is who is no longer involved with M-Net's soap The Wild in tonight's episode. I'll give one clue and it starts with the first letter of my own name.
TOLDJA! - Update Thursday 20:10 - So, the episode has been shown and it was the character of Tiro (told you it starts with a ''T'') who bit the bullet after actor Putla Sehlapelo left M-Net's The Wild. And this is one soap where those shot dead won't come back.
Putla Sehlapelo was already the second actor to portray the role of Tiro after Tony Kgoroge left last year due to unhappiness with M-Net over contractual unhappiness regarding actors' fees. Putla Sehlapelo is repped by Moonyeen Lee's MLA.

M-Net didn't want to comment and with the barrage of bigger news, I decided to no longer bother - although on-set sources kept me informed about the death, and even earlier this year that it's finally coming and will be happening three days after the wedding. Here's the final on-screen moments:
