“I’m Very Heartbroken,” Mncedisi’s Industry Friend Reacts To His Passing
Messages of condolence and tributes continue to pour in following the untimely death of veteran actor and Rhythm City’s star Mncedisi Shabangu.

His industry friend, DiepCity actor Hamilton Dlamini, told Daily Sun that the actor complained of stomach pains before he passed on. The publication reports that the actor died at his home in Mpumalanga in the early hours of this morning.

Dlamini said he is heartbroken over his untimely passing. “Mcendisi was an actor, director, and writer, someone who is hard to find in this industry. I am very sad and heartbroken you know, he has a bright future ahead. He was supposed to start shooting Uzalo on Monday and also we were supposed to have a European Tour of The Head and The Load by William Kentridge in November this year. He was going to play the first lead. I don’t know what to say but I’m very heartbroken. I’ve learned a lot from him. He always said that without formal education you can make it if you work hard.”   

He said he will miss his friend. Mthokozisi Shabangu, a family member of the actor, told the publication that the actor had chest pains, not stomach pains. “No, he had chest pains, not stomach pains before he died.” 

Tweeps have reacted to his passing.
