The shocking scene, which took place at the Level Cafe, captured a dramatic stand-off between Clement and his uncle Phomolo, played by Sam Shale, whom he accused of wanting to kill him. This, after Lehasa tasked Phomolo to silence Clement, who had caught the businessman kissing another woman and betraying his new wife, Pretty, who is also the young man's aunt.

Clement switched from calm to sheer panic as Phomolo offered to take him home, claiming his family was worried sick about him, but he wasn't budging.

"I am not going anywhere. He wants to kill me. He came here to kill me. He threatened me. He strangled me after..."

Those were his last words before the star clenched his chest in pure agony, gasping for air while onlookers panicked and gathered around him, screaming for someone to call for medical help.

The scene, which followed Clement's decision to go into hiding in fear for his life, sparked intense reactions across social media platforms, with fans lamenting how far the once-promising character has fallen.

This sudden medical crisis comes right on the heels of the viral teaser, introducing anti-drug activist Mr Moloto of LADGAG (Limpopo Anti-Drugs, Gangsterism, and Crime) to intervene in a last-ditch effort to help Clement reclaim control of his life before it is too late.
