First the good news. Hit TV drama The River is coming back for a third season. Now the bad news. It seems someone has died, and it might be Zolani.
The new season will kick off on January 27 and was revealed in a short teaser from 1 Magic this week.
It's an action-packed clip, with drama, death and pure emotion. Viewers saw a funeral procession, intense mourning and a lot of flames.
While the streets were marking their calendars and making mental notes to tune in, many were concerned by what they saw in the teaser.
Lindiwe was crying like it was one of her children that had died.
Could Zolani be dead?
If so, how will we deal as a nation?
2020 is already too hard.
