President Cyril Ramaphosa has said the late legendary entertainer Shaleen Surtie-Richards held a mirror to the country’s unjust past and served as a beacon of hope.
Arts Minister Nathi Mthethwa delivered this message while conducting a eulogy during Surtie-Richards’ special provincial funeral in Cape Town on Sunday afternoon.
Mthethwa reiterated what a great loss her death has been to the South African entertainment industry.
He said she was also a teacher who inspired the youth and people from all walks of life.
Kyknet director Karen Meiring has described the passing of Surtie-Richards as indescribable.
Meiring said her journey with the late icon started in 1983.
The actress has won a tally of 60 awards during her 37-year long career.
“Shaleen and her presence was a great one and she will sincerely be missed by all but most of all by her family. My heart and thought will be with them for a long time”.
