"What was wrong with this funeral service? Coffin couldn't go down smoothly nje."

@Babyjackson2014 replied:

"When I heard the news, people said Cobra died, I thought it was a joke, but it wasn't ripping king of acting."

@Makhoshi responded:

"This is a difficult moment, but strength to the family and friends."

@ntovholeni1 said:

"Black funerals are now extravagant, exorbitant, and have become a lifestyle. Even TV stations are showing rolling coverage of a funeral for the whole day. There's no time for families to mourn their loved ones in peace. Black people spend too much money on booze, parties, and funerals."

"I have a problem with actors crying in real life. It feels like they are acting."

@Remiazania2 said:

"Very honest and touching tribute to his friend and to a South African great actor who made us identify with every character he was portraying. Rest in peace Cobra aka Cobrizi."

@troubledcole responded:

"Friends will embarrass you. Now his family will think he was playing for both sides."

"Losing a friend it's hard. You have no one to share your pain with. May he find strength."

@ImiCulate replied:

"You should have posted the video about how they fought and where he reprimanded the culture of drunkenness."

@Kanyie85 said:

"It's very refreshing and eye opening seeing them in real life other than the characters they portray. He's totally different. And I like it."
