Timmy Kwebulana's family say he will be remembered for his big, humorous personality

CAPE TOWN - Veteran actor Timmy Kwebulana's family said they will remember him as a person with a big, humorous personality.
 
Kwebulana passed away on Thursday after a short illness.
 
The 83-year-old is the third South African veteran actor to die in  a past week.
 
The Langa township native starred in several popular TV productions over the years. 
 
The man, affectionately known as Ngqungqumbana, had a sterling career spanning almost six decades as an actor, director, comedian, and musician.
 
During a community leaders' visit to the Kwebulana home on Sunday, family spokesperson Clayton Mdingi described his brother-in-law as a character even at home.
 
"Whenever you ask him something, there would be a joke involved in his answer. So, we will remember him in that he was a jolly fellow."
 
Mdingi said Kwebulana was a beloved figure.
 
“Even people who are coming here, they all say they're going to miss him. So, the same applies to us as a family."
 
Kwebulana will be laid to rest in Kwa-Langa on Saturday.
