McKenzie has described the late husband and father of five as a man of immense talent with humble beginnings in theatre before rising to national stardom.
“His story is one of perseverance, passion and purpose. He didn’t just act, he inspired. He didn’t just perform, he transformed. South Africa has lost more than an actor. We’ve lost a piece of our cultural soul. Rest in peace, Don Mlangeni-Nawa. You’ve played your part, and you played it to perfection,” said McKenzie.
