Oros Mampofu talks about that shocking Skeem Saam death

Social entrepreneur, singer, artist and actor Nkokheli Oros Mampofu dramatically exited SABC1's Skeem Saam following his death scene on Friday.

This was after his character Jama drowned in a pool of his vomit following a heavy boozing session on his 20th birthday.

Mampofu says Jama's parents will demand answers from his close friends and associates.

And although the death scene marks his departure from Skeem Saam, the 25-year-old promises that his fans will not miss him on the small screen.

That's because there are "greater projects I'm working on" in the pipeline - in the next few weeks and later in the year.

"Look, I've only been in this craft for just over two years, but I'm already moving to a different platform, working on a different genre altogether. It's all about learning and growing," Mampofu says.
