THE cause of death of award-winning Shoki Mokgapa has been revealed.

According to the late actress’ agency MLA, she took her life on Tuesday at the age of 34.

Meanwhile, Shoki’s colleagues and fans have paid tribute and sent condolences to her family.

“Everyone here loved working with her and she will be greatly missed.
