On Tuesday morning, Washington Sixolo’s family confirmed the passing of the actor during an interview on SABC’s Morning Live.

His son, Zolani Sixolo mentioned that the family is building their strength at this very trying moment.

“We’re trying to be strong, we’re getting there. Death is not an easy thing it doesn’t matter how sick a person can be but through God’s grace, we’re really trying to get there. Time is a great healer and we will be healed.”
