83-year-old April passed away last month after sustaining injuries arising from a house robbery in February at his Mau Mau home in Nyanga, on the Cape Flats.The memorial service at Zolani Centre not far from his home was a sombre occasion. Speakers described him as a community builder who had love for his people.
April has done several productions locally and internationally among them a popular local sitcom, Stokvela.“This is a shocker, this is someone of a very high calibre you know, this is a big person in the industry. It’s a shock for us the way he passed on one would never have thought you would work with someone like uBra Spokes. I remember when we were growing up, used to come to our church and do some drama activities.
On the evening of the attack, he was found by neighbours lying on the floor after he failed to respond to them when they came to investigate the suspected attack. It’s alleged that two assailants, who are currently in custody targeted him for robbery but he was able to identify one of them before the alleged attack ensued.
