South Africa mourns one of its rising stars, after actor Dumi Masilela was killed in an attempted hijacking.
“It is with great sadness that e.tv confirms the passing of Dumi Masilela. e.tv sends their condolences to Dumi’s family, friends and Rhythm City colleagues,” Rhythm City network e.tv said in a statement.
Sowetan Live reports Masilela was shot in Tembisa on Wednesday night, when a black jeep approached the actor and his friend sitting in a parked car in the area.
He had recently wed actor and media personality Simphiwe Ngema earlier this May, with the pair becoming media darlings for their well-publicised romance.
