Seasoned TV actor Connie Chiume has revealed that she almost took her own life 20 years ago.
"I normally work with a young talent and watch them growing. And Siya was one of them. I love these kids because they teach me a lot because I never went to school for acting.
"I'm asking myself, who do we hand the baton over to when our kids are dying like this? Let's not pretend that things are fine, there is a problem within our youth, not only in the arts and creative sector but youth in general is affected."Chiume called on religious leaders and the country at large to intervene because something was wrong with the spiritual world.
Colleague Ntandazo Naye said:"This young man was my brother and my friend. We were close at work and off work. A week ago, Siyabonga had a party at his place and he wanted me to be there. I was there not knowing he will be gone a week later.", said:"To know Siyabonga was to love Siyabonga. It is strange to speak about him in past tense.
