Soli Philander has died of cancer | SA News

Actor, television presenter and comedian Soli Philander has died of cancer at the age of 65.

Sports, art and culture minister Gayton McKenzie led tributes to the well-known entertainer from Elsies River in Cape Town, saying he “brought laughter, insight and warmth to audiences everywhere in our country”.

“Whether performing on stage, presenting on television or sharing his always-ready humour through radio and public speaking, he possessed the rare gift of making people laugh by reminding us of who we are,” said the minister.

“His work as a comedian and storyteller drew deeply from the communities of the Cape Flats, giving voice to everyday experiences with wit, honesty and compassion.”
