Pretoria, South Africa — In a bittersweet tribute, actor Mavuso Magabane has shared a touching video of himself dancing and laughing alongside the late Presley Chweneyagae, captured just three days before Presley’s sudden passing.
The video, posted on May 28, shows the two beloved actors enjoying a carefree moment backstage at the South African State Theatre on May 24, 2025 — a rare, joy-filled glimpse into the final days of the iconic Tsotsi star, who died unexpectedly from natural causes on May 27.
“Who would’ve thought this would be our last dance?” Mavuso captioned the clip. “You were full of life, laughter, and love. Rest easy, my brother.”
A Nation Mourns a Legend
Presley Chweneyagae, best known for his award-winning role in the Oscar-winning film Tsotsi, was a towering figure in South African cinema and theatre. His sudden death has left fans, colleagues, and the nation in mourning.
The video, now circulating widely on social media, has drawn thousands of reactions — many expressing shock at how vibrant and healthy Presley appeared just days before his untimely death.
Celebration Amid Sorrow
Though grief runs deep, the footage has offered some comfort to fans who remember Presley not just for his immense talent, but for the warmth, humour, and spirit he brought into every space he entered.
“This is how we’ll remember him — dancing, laughing, alive,” one fan commented.
A memorial service for Presley is expected to take place later this week, with tributes pouring in from across the country’s entertainment industry and beyond.
