PATRICK SHAI PASSES ON The legendary actor Patrick Shai's family confirmed that he died on Saturday (22 January).

His industry friends such as Sello Maake KaNcube and Fana Mokoena are still grappling with his passing.

Lunga Mofokeng also shared a video with the cast for Patrick's wife Mmasechaba Shai on their recent 38th anniversary.

The wisdom I've gained in a short space of time with you is incredible.

You told me to keep pushing and how much you and your wife love the work we do as a team.

Went on to acknowledge my scenes that got you excited about the craft. I thank you, Great King, wrote Lunga.
