THE arts and entertainment industry is mourning the death of a former producer Msizi Edgar Nkosi (42).

He was born in Harding, KwaJali in KZN.

Msizi died in Richards Bay, KZN in a car accident.

The news was announced by his family members Ntando Nkosi and Thuli Ndaba KaNkosi

Family spokesman Ntando told Daily Sun: “The accident happened on Sunday, 15 August during the day but we only got the news in the evening at about 6pm. The accident happened in Richards Bay and the information had to go via the Johannesburg office. We were later informed by his girlfriend later in the evening.

“Our understanding is that he was shooting a reality TV show in Richards Bay. He and his crew had finished in one location and were going to another location in the Richards Bay area. Unfortunately, another vehicle collided with their car.”

She said at this stage they didn’t have all the details.

“For now we don’t have all the details, but we will be travelling to Richards Bay on Monday, 16 August to identify his body and all details pertaining to his death,” she said.

She said he had been shooting the reality TV show for the past four months.

She described Msizi as a hard-working person, a go-getter and someone who was passionate about arts and entertainment industry.

“His disability did not discourage him. Instead, he proved to be unstoppable in everything he put his hands on. He had a good heart and loved to have fun. As the family, we are distraught and we are still trying to digest the news,” she said.

Msizi wrote one of the best selling books titled I’m a Different Mess Than I was Yesterday.

He also owned a salon at Southgate Mall in Joburg.

He was the former producer of Woza Nabangane Bakho on Ukhozi FM.

He’s survived by his five children.

On Monday, social media was abuzz as his former colleagues and friends sent their condolences.

His former colleague, Ukhozi presenter Khathide “Tshathugodo” Ngobe, wrote: “I just can’t believe that Msizi Nkosi is no more. This is really painful. He was our content producer on a show called Woza Nabangani Bakho. We had a good working relationship with him.”

His friend, Zibu Masotobe Sibiya, wrote: “Here is my suggestion, delay nothing. If you love him and want him as your husband, go. If you need to end that relationship, go. If you want to shoot a movie, write a book, confess your truth, start a business, whatever that is important to improve your life experience, just do it. That way when your time is cut short here on earth, we can be comforted by the fact that you lived it fully. Rest well, my friend Msizi Edgar Nkosi. I don’t even know what to say anymore. This period in our lives is filled with goodbyes. We will see you in the morning.”

Ntando said arrangements for the memorial and funeral services will be announced during the week.
