Fans of Rhythm City were left in tears on Wednesday when the show paid a final tribute to actor Dumi Masilela with a touching memorial service featuring his real life mother and brother.

Dumi, who played the role of Sfiso on Rhythm City, died in hospital after being shot during an attempted hijacking in Tembisa on August 2. 

The on-screen memorial service came a week after Dumi's character made his last appearance on the show and featured touching tributes from several of the soapies most popular characters.

The show's producers revealed last month that Sfiso's exit would mirror Dumi's murder, with one of the characters reporting his hijacking to others on the show.

Fans of the soapie added their voices to the tributes and mourning seen on screen, flooding social media with messages about Dumi.
