7Films producer Nina van Rensburg confirmed on Facebook that Myeza passed away on the morning of 14 January 2019 at the age of 25, doing what he loved most – filming.
Despite his young age, Myeza’s work was a firm favourite at award shows, including the Loeries and Cannes Lions.
His humble nature and drive to constantly do better will be missed.
We would just like to thank GQ for this feature on our very own Siphiwe Myeza. https://t.co/BV2dm3diBi
