Fellow actor Zenzo Ngqobe, visibly emotional, shared a poignant message on behalf of Chweneyagae’s inner circle:

“My brother, you made me strong, but today you’ve left me weak. Just weeks ago, we spoke about future projects—roles we planned together. Now, we must adjust to God’s plan. Rest well, my friend.”

Chweneyagae, who passed away at 40 due to respiratory complications, leaves behind a legacy celebrated by fans and peers alike.
