Thomas also took to Instagram and shared the same statement and said, I was supposed to say Merry Christmas I was a fan before anything. Then we became friends, then we became brothers. It's hard sometimes to make real connections in this game of entertainment, but with you not only was it easy, it was fun.

I've cried that @sponge_wodumo will only have experienced your love for a year and a half, but I know when he watches Uthando Lodumo years from now he will know for a fact how much you loved him. Babes now has to head up the household, but she will not have to do it alone. I will be there mngan' wami. Rest in Power, Shimora, Jack, Mampintsha, Mandla Maphumulo , he said.
