The news sent shock waves across the world with many celebrities reacting with sadness and dedications. Here are a few of the moving tributes.

 

Thank You! For being true to your craft. I will forever be inspired. You were your authentic self in the international industry and stuck it out no matter what anyone said. A lesson that the SA industry and the people running it still need to understand… To do for the people, coz it’s the people who need it the most. ❤️ You were always a King to me, and always will be. #embracetruetalent #givecreditwherecreditisdue
