The family of award-winning comedian, actor, and writer Ebenhaezer Dibakwane, confirmed his cause of death on Tuesday, 11 March.

EBENHAEZER DIBAKWANE: ‘I JUST LOST MY RELIGION’

The MisEducation actor Ebenhaezer Dibakwane, who shared in past interviews that he was battling depression ended his own life, according to the family’s statement.

“The past few days have been excruciating for us, as we battle to deal with his loss. Preliminary evidence suggests that Ebby died by suicide, which we expect will be confirmed by the post-mortem examination,” said the family.

This comes after the comedian shared on Almost Perfect Podcast that the path to his success had been rather dark and also shared how losing his faith led him down a nihilistic road that saw him living on the streets.

“I just lost my religion. I was an evangelist, and everything crumbled down. I literally mastered the beauty for the first time at 19. I was heartbroken and went the complete, opposite way.”

Dibakwane also shared that he was drinking excessively and dopped out of school [university].

He also added in an interview that he was a very sad and depressed person who was acting happy.

His funeral is scheduled for Friday, 14 March, at 7am in Mbombela, Nelspruit, at Church Unlimited.

@BhovuRbay: “The brother did mention that he was sad and depressed most of the time. We don’t listen enough to people asking for help. We just brush it off as if they are seeking nothing but attention. May his soul rest in eternal peace.”

@_Cracko: “Yoh this dude said life is overrated on TikTok. That was pretty dark.”

@loisRomantic: “Once you clock 30 ziyakhala shem…. Tupac, Jesus, etc. Especially the first three years of 30, it’s a physical and mental war.”

@DeeJosta: “Have you guys seen his street interview, yoh my guy was hurt and empty inside.”

@DengaAxe: “Bravo to the family for even saying this and adding depression and anxiety contact details.”

@MbusoDlamini01: “Problem is even if you talk no one can really do anything. It’s like sisonke dawg let’s man it up.”

@teffo_ME: “The spirit of darkness that attack depressed people is real, banna ba gešo ithlokomeleng (look after yourself). It’s so sad to lose such young people.”
