JOHANNESBURG – One of Menzi Ngubane’s close colleagues and friends remembers him as an incredible talent who’s left a gap that can’t be filled.
Angus Gibson, a Director and founding partner of Bomb Shelter Productions, says he knew from the first day he met Ngubane that he was a talented actor.
He’s praised him for continuing to work despite not being well in recent years.
“When I first met him, he came into my office, it was after Yizo 1 and he said if there’s Yizo 2, I have to in it and I looked at this guy and the thing about Menzi he’s an astonishingly charming person. He made an impression. So when Yizo 2 came along, we organised an audition and he auditioned. He did one auditioned and I looked at it and it was clear he’s the man,” said Gibson.
