Tributes are continuing to pour in for the late actor Siyanda Sesimane who passed away this week after he was allegedly attacked and beaten during a burglary.
Several celebrities including the legendary actress Florence Masebe, TV host, and actor Zola Hashatsi have since taken to their social media platforms to pay tributes to the late Soul City and The Estate actor.
The Republic star Florence Masebe said she is still trying to process the news of the actor's passing adding that nothing makes sense.
“This is the most heartbreaking thing I've heard today...I'm beyond shattered... It is not okay, it is not right," she said in a series of tweets.
Zola said Siyanda was a present father to his daughter and his love for her was commendable. He added, "I pray I never find the people that did this to you coz I don't know what I will do. It's emotionally, mentally, physically draining to write RIP every week. I am NOT okay."
Zola is the one who shared the sad news on Friday with a tweet that read, "Sad to announce the passing of my dear friend Siyanda Sesimani @SiyaSesimani in hospital. He has served on Thula's Vine, Ikhaye, Soul City, iSithembiso & The Estate. He was a son, a brother, a friend, and a Father. May his beautiful soul rest in peace #RIPSiyaSesimani."
