FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
MEDIA REPORT ON SHOOTING

Johannesburg, 14 April 2023 - SABC 2 and 7de Laan are deeply saddened and disturbed by the reports circulating in the media regarding a tragic incident of domestic violence involving an alleged 7de Laan actor.  

As it stands, we have no knowledge of the identity of the individual involved and would like to express our heartfelt condolences to the victim's family and friends.

Production has made efforts to establish whom the said individual might be however as per the law, a suspect’s identity cannot be disclosed until such time that they have been formally charged. 

We can however confirm that the individual in question is not part of the current cast. It is believed the suspect was an actor who featured in a number of South African soap operas, but it is still unclear as to which. 

We will continue to keep a keen eye on the matter as it develops.
