Mpilo is the on-screen son of Khethiwe Ngcobo, played by Winnie Modise, but mystery surrounds the unexpected death of Oratile Tshedza Mahene, the little boy who was cast in the role
According to Sunday World, Oratile died as far back as
September 2013, apparently two days after he spent some time on set, shooting scenes at the soapie's studios in Auckland Park.
Oratile's death certificate reportedly states that he died from "unnatural causes", something which the baby boy's parents could not in good conscience ignore
The situation is made even more suspicious by the fact that the popular program didn't release a statement, but kept unnervingly mum about the tragic death of the young cast member, with unsettling rumours claiming that Generations publicist Brenda Byakunda-Ngwenya was explicitly ordered not to do so.
