She finally told her daughter with the help of Jewel's grandmother Layla (Natasha Sutherland) last night because postponing it would've only confused her and caused her more frustration.

Khanyi's emotional reaction left viewers of the show saddened for her whilst the majority of viewers applauded the young actress for her stellar performance.

What was more heartbreaking for fans was the fact that Quinton had shared with their daughter that he wanted to marry Dintle and kept the engagement ring a secret.

The child actress's emotional scene also reflected the wonderful relationship she had with Brighton Ngoma behind-the-scenes.

QUINTON'S LAST DAYS Quinton's memory loss was a blessing in disguise for his daughter and his baby mama as he wanted Khanyi Jewel to be raised by both parents towards the end.

He and Dintle never got along before as he was in love with several women throughout the years and had children with several women.

Ngoma mentioned in several interviews that he was saddened by the fact that his character only realised the importance of family just before he died.
