Top Billing's executive producer Patience Stevens paid tribute to Simba Mhere.
Patience thanked Simba's parents for raising such a remarkable gentleman.
"Simba was a complete gentleman, who was like a sponge. He was always willing to learn and always took what we taught him and made it better," she said.
Adding, "It's so hard to believe that he is not here with us. Simba you taught us so much. You shared our past with us. We were not ready for you leaving us."
