After16 years on the show, it is reported that Melanie's contract will not be renewed by Danie Odendaal Productions, and Felicity's story line will come to an end, according to TV Plus.

Joining Melanie is Masego Sehoole and Corné Crous, who were also given the boot after they were recently informed that their contracts will not be renewed, while Anelisa Phewa, who plays Sifiso, decided to quit to take on work as a lecturer at AFDA, a film and drama school in Joburg.

Melanie will be making her final on-screen appearance in October.
