SIYANDA SESIMANI DIES AFTER HOME INVASION ATTACK

According to a statement posted by Siyanda Sesimani’s friend Zola Hashatsi, the actor died after a violent attack in his home.

It read: “Siyanda was attacked at his house on Tuesday,15 February 2022, and was admitted at Garden City Hospital with head injuries. Doctors mentioned that he had a fracture on his skull and decided to take him to the theatre on Wednesday”.

According to the statement, Siyanda was recovering well until a few days later when he went into cardiac arrest after having a seizure.

Then came the bad news.

“We had a meeting with his doctor who explained that Siyanda was brain dead at this stage and chances of survival were extremely low. Since then, he put on a good fight until the morning of Friday, 11 March when we received a call from the hospital requesting us to urgently come in. Siyanda took his last breath at about 08:30”.

FRIENDS CELEBRATE ACTOR’S ‘HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY’

Apart from a memorial and funeral service set to take place this week, Siyanda Sesimani was remembered in a candle ceremony on the eve of his birthday.

On Monday, 14 March, friends remembered the star on what would have been his 32nd birthday. Zola Hashatsi also paid tribute to the “present” dad Siyanda Sesimani was to his three year-old daughter.

He wrote: “The love you had for your daughter was commendable. You were a present Father and you did it all for her. You truly were a kind soul”.

Zola hinted that Siyanda’s attackers were still at large.

He added: “I pray I never find the people that did this to you because I don’t know what I will do. It’s emotionally, mentally, physically draining to write RIP every week. I am NOT okay”.
