It's sorrowful time we are losing talented actors, one of the main reasons we should learn to give flowers to our icons while they're still alive.

I don't know what is happening currently in the entertainment industry. Not long ago, we laid Busi Lurayi to rest, and now we have lost Shabangu; at present, it's still a developing story. I don't have all the information regarding the cause of death; our prayers are with his family. He was very talented he was one of my favourite actors in South Africa.
