After the death of one of the most gifted artists in South Africa on March 13, 2021, the country went into mourning.

Actor Menzi Ngubane, who was born on August 28, 1964, won multiple awards. During the course of his career, he has made numerous film and television appearances, including in the critically acclaimed How to Steal 2 Million and the critically acclaimed television series Yizo Yizo, Generations, Isibaya, and Ashes and Ashes.
At the same time that the nation mourned the loss of an incredible actor, those closest to him felt an even greater loss since they had also lost a friend, a son, a brother, a spouse, and a parent.
The following details the life of Menzi Ngubane’s wife and two daughters, and the work they do to honor their father. Please keep Menzi in your prayers that she continues to make a speedy recovery.
Menzi Ngubane’s children Siyasanaga (Siya) and Ziyanda Ngubane came from a previous marriage his wife had. Menzi Ngubane considers his two beautiful daughters a blessing from God. Following his marriage, he made the decision to legally adopt the two girls and bring them up as his own.
While Menzi Ngubane’s eldest daughter Siya has been making headlines for her efforts to carry on her father’s legacy, Ziyanda, his younger daughter, is just 12 years old. Siya has been grabbing all the attention, thus Ziyanda has been left in the background.
Siya, who has a master’s degree in public administration, claimed that her late father was her primary caregiver. They had a close relationship, she said, and he had raised her from the age of 15. One of their most enjoyable shared experiences was learning to drive, which he facilitated.
On what would have been the late actor’s 57th birthday on August 28, 2021, his daughter and wife led tributes to the late star.
The late actor’s favorite children’s charity, Ethembeni Home in Johannesburg, received a contribution of food and toys from the BrightSpark Foundation South Africa and the Menzi Ngubane Foundation. The foundation founded by Menzi Ngubane and now led by his daughter received the contribution.
Siya, who was still jobless at the time, said she planned to take over her father’s nonprofit organization with the help of her mother as an advisor.
Menzi Ngubane’s mother, Sikelelo Sishuba, was also the lady he loved and was sexually attracted to. He has two daughters, both of whom she is the mother.
In 2004, Menzi and Sishuba met one other for the first time in the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) studios, where she worked as a receptionist. Several factors contributed to the breakup of the couple’s relationship.
