Johannesburg - South African actress Daphney Hlomuka-Ngubane, popularly known as "Sis May" in the TV show S'gudi S'naysi, died on Wednesday.
"Ngubane, who worked on the show since its inception in 1986, died after a long illness," said SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago.
She was working as a call centre agent with the SABC at the time of her death.
Kganyago said he was not sure what illness Ngubane had encountered or how old she was.
S'gudi 'Snaysi, which translates to "it's good, it's nice", starred Ngubane as Sis' May - a middle-aged woman living in Soweto.
She starred along side popular actor Joe Mafela, who played S'dumo, an unemployed man who came to lodge with her.
