Bra Mac, as he was affectionately known, was a brilliant actor and music producer best known for his role in SABC’s successful drama series Home Affairs. Others will remember the veteran actor for his role as Oupa in the SABC1 comedy series Khululeka.
He also starred as Tshibaphi in the SABC1 drama series Intsika, in 2011. One of his biggest TV gigs saw him in the SABC1 mini-series uGugu no Andile, based on the Shakespearean play Romeo and Juliet, in 2008. Soap opera lovers will also remember him on the old or defunct Generations on SABC1 as Mawande’s father.
Mathunjwa’s work speaks for itself and he had been harnessing talent though Mathunjwa Film Production. The production company had just wrapped up the shooting of a movie titled Uzozwa Ngami, which was screened on March 21 this year at Bahama, and had invited all aspiring actors and actresses to audition for a new movie, which was shot in Kwa-Thema. The movie, titled The Chosen, has been written by Cynthia Sedith and was directed MacDonald Mathunjwa.
May his soul rest in peace.
