He went on to say:"I still remember working with him on Christmas Day on some of the first episodes of Egoli. He was a workaholic who gave his life for the soap opera, especially at the beginning." "What a loss. One could have written books about him. But first, this tribute to Franz as the undisputed and highly-respected king of soap operas. Many people who still write soap operas today have learned from him. A big one is gone," said Leon.In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
