Skeem Saam's storyline intertwined with real life this week when police announced that seven lions were on the loose in Limpopo.

Over the past few days, the viewers of the soapie watched with bated breath as lions terrorised Koloi and his friends during a school trip.

Jonas, Koloi and other friends decided to take a tour of a safari park they had visited without the supervision of their teachers. They got lost in the wild and couldn't find their way back to the bus.

They were then attacked by lions. Jonas was eaten by the beasts while Koloi, played by Tshepo Senatle, managed to escape.
