“Umntu Wabantu” — These words from Sivenathi Mabuya left Mzansi in tears

“You weren’t a fan of being praised, but I sure hope you knew how great you were.”

 

Their on-screen partnership turned into real-life respect and deep admiration. Presley touched so many hearts — not just as an actor, but as a soul who led with heart and joy.

Rest in Power, Press.

We lost a legend. We lost a brother.

This tribute is deeply moving — a heartfelt farewell to Presley Chweneyagae, whose passing has clearly shaken Mzansi.

Sivenathi Mabuya’s words, especially “Umntu wabantu”, capture the essence of who Presley was — a man of the people, grounded, humble, and real. Her line:

“You weren’t a fan of being praised, but I sure hope you knew how great you were.”
cuts straight to the soul. It speaks not just to his humility, but to the silent strength he carried — impacting lives without seeking applause.

Their bond on Cobrizi became more than just acting — it became a genuine connection, a mutual admiration that grew off-screen. This tribute isn’t just about mourning an actor. It’s about celebrating a man who gave his whole heart to every role, every relationship, every moment.

🕯️ Rest in Power, Press.
Mzansi didn’t just lose talent — it lost a piece of its soul. 💔
