Family friend Pardon Makamu confirmed on Tuesday that Majola, known for playing bad boy Bongani Khumalo on the e.tv show, died suddenly and unexpectedly.
“I can confirm that he is late,” said Makamu. “I am still waiting for more details from his family who will release a statement later today.”
According to the source, the artist was found dead by his chef girlfriend, who was taken in by the police for questioning.
“He was found by his girlfriend who alerted his family. They are suspecting suicide or that there could possibly have been some foul play. But I can’t confirm it as yet. We are all processing the news and we will hear from the police and his family,” shared the source.
