FANIE EXITS SKEEM SAAM' #SkeemSaam was devastated when Fanie Maseremule died suddenly as he was a fan-favourite.

Fanie was a master manipulator, a hacking guru, and an IT specialist who could pass through any firewall of any company.

Some viewers have even compared him to Hungani Ndlovu's character (Romeo Medupe) of e.tv's Scandal!.

Fanie discovered Lehasa Maphosa's (Cedric Fourie) darkest family secret and convinced Lehasa to give him shares at Caf Rovuwa.

He hid Lehasa's secret on his hard drive with a password that only he knows.

Lehasa knew the only way to get Fanie off his back was to permanently get rid of him.

He hired some thugs to invade the restaurant and shoot everyone, including Fanie.

Lehasa visited the hospital while Fanie was sedated and finished him off.

Hope he didn t bring abalone with him
