Veteran South African actor Sello Motloung will be laid to rest on Saturday, September 21, following his sudden passing on Sunday, September 15.
Known for his roles in TV shows such as “Nna Sajene Kokobela,” “The Republic,” “The Estate,” “Blood Psalms,” and “The Wife,” Motloung’s last performance was as Bra Tyd in “uBab’Stivovo” on Mzansi Magic.
His funeral will be held at St Huberts Catholic Church in Alexandra, and he will be buried at West Park Cemetery.
The Motloung family has decided not to hold a memorial service, honoring the actor’s wishes. Instead, friends and family will gather at his home in Kempton Park to pay their final respects before the Requiem Mass in Alexandra.
The family spokesperson shared that the actor collapsed and passed away in the hospital, leaving his family and the South African entertainment community in shock.
Motloung’s passing was announced by his casting agency, Artist Connection, who expressed their deep sorrow and asked for privacy for his family.
They praised his legacy, noting that he would always be remembered as one of South Africa’s acting legends.
His dedication, talent, and passion for the arts have left a lasting impact on his colleagues and fans alike.
The news of Motloung’s death came shortly after the South African public was mourning the loss of another beloved actor, Darlington Michaels. Motloung had paid tribute to Michaels in a Facebook post, recalling their time working together on the 1997 film “Chikin Biznis.”
His passing marks a significant loss for the South African entertainment industry, as he was a respected figure who inspired many with his performances and commitment to his craft.
