Will Xolani Mayekis AKA Thato leave The Queen in the next episodes?

Thato whose real name is Xolani Mayekiso dies following a tragic accident he got himself in after Hector and his men tried shooting him, “they mustn’t shoot him it will look like an accident but they’ve been shot at the car whole scene…” Hector said before Thato died.
Could this be the final scene where The Queen most favourite actor will exit the Tv show? We don’t know yet what will be his fate in the next episode of The Queen.
Although Thato on Mzansi Magic’s The Queen is not scheduled to exit the show’s storyline in the near future, despite his character being shot recently. Xolani Mayekiso assumes one of the most prominent supporting roles on Mzansi Magic’s The Queen.
What came up on today’s episode was one thing out of the box and this has created many doubts and question on whether there will a kind of plot twist on The Queen.
Xolani Mayekiso is one of the most loved South African actors. He is known to light up the screens of South Africans every time he appears.
His debut came in 2017 after he scooped the starring role on the Mzansi Magic soapie The Queen as Thato Maake.
In the soapie, he takes the role of a kasi guy who suffers from a drug problem and is on the verge of getting better.
Well done to Xolani. He literally grew up with the character. He played “Thato” very well in my opinion 👏🏾😅#TheQueenMzansi pic.twitter.com/XmQxiNQwW3

What Happened On Tonight’s Episode Of The Msanzi The Queen?
Tonight’s episode was so heartbreaking!!
Thato has always been there for Siyanda not once not twice but always.
I remember when Thabiso ditched Siyanda for Goodness, Who was there Thato to help Siyanda pick up her life. When she got back with Thabiso she forgot Thato never even said: “Thank you”.Again Thabiso was arrested and disappeared to thin air, who was there to help Siyanda it was Thato, After that she got into a relationship with Kagiso and again she ditched Thato didn’t even pitch up at work with no explanation, while Thato was worried and only came back when things were sour between her and Kagiso.
Thato forgave her and gave her the job once again, she got together with Kagiso and this time she was an addict and the person who was there to help her was Thato again.
On top of that she put herself in trouble by spending money that didn’t belong to her and she ditched Thato and saw herself better than Thato and things went sour for her Again, her child got kidnapped and Thato risked his life again to try and help a sister/friend out even went out to try and clean out his savings for his friend kodwa today Thato needed Siyanda and she ditched him but she didn’t know that it was for the last time.
She’s not aware of this but her saviour is Gone forever, She will never ever find a friend who’s forever patient like Thato Never.
There are a lot of That’s and Siyanda’s out there my advice is don’t be one of them.
