"He was good at what he did. I remember how we used to talk about God a lot.
"We did lots of shows across the country. But on Sunday, we made sure that we go to church," he said.
A close friend and driver, Mmabi Mathole, said he was his driver and that they lived together.
"He was a sweet person, and he was good at negotiations. When he left, he was going to an event.
"He called me around 1am asking me if I was asleep. He said we were supposed to update our diary. He was busy shooting a movie called Moruti under Shynebright Entertainment. He was getting lots of great gigs," he said.
Gospel singer Paul K Kganyago said he recently met with the late star. "This was after my performance. He was a sweet somebody," he said.
Molope "Smonamonane" Mokwana said people must stop celebrating people when they are dead.
"We are asking the funders and arts and culture department to invest in us. It's not good to be celebrated when we are gone only," he said.
The comedian will be buried at his home in Makweng, Limpopo, on Saturday, 20 April.
