The death of the soul of the story of South Africa causes sorrow and anger.

The death of a lot of loved stars is generally pouring out of sorrow, but the loss of 75 -year -old actress Nandi Nyembe was also swollen.

People worryed that in the last month of life, a painful woman was reduced by appearing in a video asking for financial help.

She sat in a wheelchair with a thin and gray hair, wore loose t -shirts and wool pajama pants, and she didn’t like people to feel sympathy, but she needed money to deal with the basics. Her biggest petition was for more work, so she was able to support herself.

This is far from her famous screen exterior.

In recent decades, as the lead of some major television series, her face shines into South Africa’s house and she has become a familiar being per week.

Respect of her passing mam’nandi felt like losing close relatives.

Her family and the government jointly presented her as “very souls of South Africa.”

She was not only “much more than the actress,” but also “broke the barrier,” “a teacher and guide that inspired young actors in the village and village to dream beyond their situation.

Given that status, the way she appeared in the second half of her life was more shocking.

Her death rebuilt the lack of support for South African artists who could not work after a long illness and struggled to struggle many faces behind the stage.

After the first appearance fee, the actor in South Africa does not receive royalties for the subsequent broadcast of the work.

They are hired as freelancers and as a result, they do not get possible benefits such as pensions and health insurance available to the general employee.

This means that Jack Devnarain, chairman of the South African actor, Jack Devnarain, said to the BBC:

He said in the last video that it was painful to witness Nyembe’s struggle.

“There is no charity in the world, so we will solve the structural problems in the creative sector.”

Devnarain, an actor himself, remembered the glory of Nyembe and remembered that she was “welcome and warm” as a young artist.

“In the presence of MAM’Nandi, you knew you had a royal family.”

Nyembe was born in 1950 in Clip Town, the oldest part of the so -called discussion. Her mother was an actress, a tap dancer, and her father was a boxer.

Her family moved a lot in childhood, and as a result she grew up with “different people.”

Her acting career began in the 1970s when the state legally forced racial separation in the height of the Heart Hate era.

NYEEMBE, which has a chance to blacks, was mainly cast in the role of the maid whenever I auditioned. She told South Africa magazine Bona in 2017: “Inequality and oppression made me upset and I started to participate in the protest theater.”

Despite this type casting, she later made her mark in a variety of TV shows and movies until the theater first and until the 1990s.

Her best known television was the repeated characteristics of HIV positive nurses in the hospital drama Soul City. Since 1994, it has become a national crisis when the year of the first Democratic election in South Africa and people struggled to talk about HIV/AIDS.

In another popular series, Yizo Yizo, she played her mother at a show that captured the reality of life in South Africa.

On a big screen, she captured a audience in a South African film that won the 2004 Oscar Award.

Her grandson, Jabulani Nyembe, said, “She was very passionate about her work. He lived outside of her family.”

“I always tried to improve my crafts,” “I always wanted to do better,” and at the same time, “Her career was also to build another actor and actress through her work.”

In addition to acting, he always remembers her in her community and willing to help others with “family pillars” and their “backbone”.

He handled the viral video, acknowledging that Nyembe faced the challenge until her life ended before her family helped her.

Actor’s guilds were at the forefront of promoting legal changes to prevent similar situations.

According to Devnarain, two bills were introduced in Congress in 2017 and aimed to “gain the right to get royalty for the first time in South Africa’s history.”

“This is why they are important for the survival of this sector,” he said.

For many years, they finally disappeared from the desk of President Siril Lamaboa in 2024.

However, he later mentioned the two legislation to the Constitutional Court, and feared that the bill could affect the elements on the constitution by presenting a retrospective restriction on copyright.

This led the actors to be trapped in Limbo.

Devnarain said, “The actors who are now suffering from movies and television will continue to work.” Devnarain said.

“The government failed in the entire sector and failed Mam’nandi.”

At the memorial ceremony in Johannesburgh, an actress, LEATO MVELASE also exploded the government for providing the “lullaby” to the actors.

“How long do we have to listen to the same speech (in commemorative service)? How long should we participate in the necessity of policy structure that will protect us as an actor?” She asked.

But Gayton McKenzie, who does not get away from the fight, said that she responded to the critics that she responded personally to Nyembe’s trouble when she was alive, and the government helped her family and paid a funeral on Saturday.

“We are working to change creative hardships day and night, and soon they will receive funeral, hospital management and policy payments for children. We are in charge of truly caring and changing their lives.”

Of course, the current change is too late for Nyembe.

Angus Gibson, a famous filmmaker at the Memorial Hall, explained how to ask for work in a difficult time.

“As she did, she did not protect her from a hard world, like a good actor,” he said.
