'I'm shaking and teary,': Zenzo Nqobe's tribute to Presley
Seasoned actor Zenzo Ngqobe has penned an emotional and heartfelt tribute to his friend Presley Chweneyagae, as the nation continues to mourn his passing. Presley's death has left a significant void in the South African acting industry, with many expressing their sorrow since the news went public. The Mahikeng-born star, aged 40, passed away on Tuesday, 27 May, after experiencing breathing difficulties. Zenzo and the late Presley first crossed paths in Mahikeng, where their shared passion for the arts began, well before fame found them. They starred together in Tsotsi , showcasing an undeniable on-screen chemistry that reflected the deep friendship they maintained long after the film. In a heartfelt Instagram tribute, Zenzo described Presley as more than a co-star; he was a true brother and friend. 'Pres wasn't just my co-star, he was my soul's twin in this journey. His fire burnt bright, His laughter shook rooms, His spirit lifted us all. Now he rests, but he will never be silent in me. I carry him in every breath, every role, every memory,' he wrote. View this post on Instagram A post shared by @zenzo_ngqobe The former Rhythm City star, heartbroken over his friend's passing, shared his grief, writing: 'When the time is right, when my heart is steady, and my hands stop trembling, I will sit down and write you the tribute you truly deserve. Right now, I am shattered. In disbelief, shaking, teary. Trying to gather pieces of a world that suddenly feels dimmer without your light,' he wrote. In a heartfelt tribute to a bond forged long before fame, the actor reflected on the brotherhood that shaped their journey. 'Before the world knew our names, we knew each other's hearts. When Tsotsi happened, it wasn't just a career milestone — it was a sacred moment. A brotherhood sealed forever on screen, and off it. 'From there, life swept us into Gauteng, and again, we shared more than ambition — we shared space, struggle, hunger, hope. We carried each other through sleepless nights and long auditions, and later, into fatherhood and manhood — each step a testament to growth, grit, and grace,' he shared. He described Presley as a vibrant, passionate, and proud individual whose presence left a lasting impact. He also thanked everyone who supported and celebrated Presley.
