Shai died last Saturday morning at his Soweto home at the age of 65.

The Department of Arts and Culture says veteran actor Patrick Shai will be remembered as an avid activist against gender-based violence.

The 65-year-old founder of the Khuluma Ndoda advocacy group died at his Soweto home last week Saturday. His funeral service was held today at the Soweto theatre, south of Johannesburg.

His career began in some of the SABC’s best dramas such as Yizo Yizo, Soul City, Bophelo ke Semphego and Generations.

The Deputy Minister of Arts and Culture, Nocawe Mafu says, “Today, we bid farewell to a legend and a true son of the soil. With the passing of Patrick Shai, we have lost a soldier in the fight against GBV and femicide. As a GBV perpetrator himself, he was active in changing which is why I think he founded the foundation. He died advocating against GBV and he had exposed his own shortcomings as a man in society.”
