Background

The year 2022 is only 2 months old, we are only two months and two weeks into the year 2022 and we have already lost so many people in the entertainment industry.

It is almost like every week the country mourns the death of a Tv personality. Since the first week of February, a South African celebrity has passed on every week, in different ways though.

 

 

 

The deaths in the entertainment industry this year are very shocking, mainly because it is becoming a weekly thing.
