It’s been four years since the untimely death of actor Menzi Ngubane, and the pain is just as fresh for his widow, Sikelelwa Ngubane.
The veteran artist – known for his roles as Sibusiso Dlomo in Generations – died in 2021 after a stroke. He was just 56 years old.
MENZI NGUBANE REMEMBERED BY WIDOW
In an Instagram post, Menzi Ngubane’s widow, Sikelelwa, paid tribute to her late husband.
Sharing pictures of their wedding and relationship, she posted of his passing: “13 March 2021, my life drastically changed. Nothing has made sense since then. They say time heals; I am still waiting.
“It’s been 4 years since you departed from this world, myeni wami [my husband]. My prayer is there will come a time when I hurt less. Continue to Rest in Peace, uyohlala usezintliziyweni zethu [You will always be a part of our hearts].
