“Please refrain from doing this. Please respect our privacy during this difficult time we will officially make a statement a little later,” Vilakazi wrote.

Radebe will be remembered for his on-screen talents

Sibusiso Radebe was only 37 years old but he was a seasoned actor in South Africa’s film industry. The country first caught sight of his acting talents on a teen magazine show, X–Attitude, in which he featured in at the age of 12.

This was four years before he would catch his big break on Backstage, a soap opera that aired on E-tv between. His character, Vusi, gained favour amongst the LGBTQI community, granting him status on the show as one of the main cast members. He left the show five years later, in 2005 and has since featured on:

  • Mzansi;
  • Stokvel;
  • Home Affairs;
  • Mtunzini.com; and
  • City Ses’la
