Many avid viewers of Lock Down had hoped that the killing of Mazet on Lockdown played by actress - Dawn Thandeka King was just a fluke of a scene and that Dawn would return to the show in a matter of days.

Unfortunately, that is not the case, this week was Dawn Thandeka's last day on the show after her character got into an altercation with one of the characters which eventually lead to both their deaths.

However, in an interview with Isolezwe Mandla N explained that people should continue to watch the show as there are still a few episodes left to watch and that this is not the last time he'll be working with Dawn on Lock Down. Err, so what does that mean? Will Dawn return as a ghost on the show?

"What I can say is that Dawn Thandeka King is a legend and that I will continue to work with her on Lockdown. Maybe she will return as a ghost or something else may happen that will have her last longer on Lockdown. A lot is still about to happen, people must just wait, we're still going to work with Dawn," said Mandla N.

However, we became a bit confused when Dawn tweeted a post recently confirming her exit from the show.

After her tweet, avid fans of the show were not impressed with what Dawn revealed.
