Veteran actor Menzi Ngubane has joined the flood of tributes for late actress Lindiwe Ndlovu, who died on Monday.

Lindiwe’s longtime agent, Lynne Higgins of Gaenor Artiste Management, confirmed to TshisaLIVE on Monday evening that the star had died in her sleep thanks to health complications, but wouldn’t be drawn into speculation that her death was associated with Covid-19.

The actress lit up screens with roles in several major productions, including Mazinyo Dot Q, Ses’Top La, Stokvel, Soul City, Scandal!, Isidingo, Home Affairs, Lockdown, and Isono.

Menzi was a lover of Lindiwe’s work and took to Twitter after news of her death to celebrate her as a “phenomenal woman and outstanding actress”.

The former Generations and Isibaya actor said his heart was heavy at Lindiwe’s passing but remembered how she would fill the space together with her smile.

“My heart is heavy. Her smile would illuminate the space around her and she or he always had a positive impact on everyone. Rest in peace, Sis Lindiwe,” he wrote.
