PHAKS
Definately one of tsembeyi,the most talented youngsters ever. an actor ,a poet,a talented musician and a flying rugby lock.Phaks was the greatest of all times .Born at the peak of apartheid in 1986, His mother was an ordinary school teacher and his father sold bricks for a living .
An award winning praise poet ,phaks perfomed all over the eastern cape province and left crowds crying everywhere he perfomed.Recruited and mentored by Tsembeyi born perfoming arts guru Nokuzola Magida,he became the first person from tsembeyi ever to perfom at the prestigious standard bank /grahamstown arts festival thus putting the small village on the map and making the poor community very proud.
His school principal described him as A flambouyant and a charismatic rugby star who loved attention ,his classmates recalled him as a joker who was always smiling,his peers called him ugrooves and all of hailed his death as one of the most tragic moments in the history of the school
Despite all this fame,attention and tremendeous talent Phaks remained an ordinary humble village boy who continued with his daily household childhood chores,and attended all village young men gatherings with ease.
Phakamisa Zumana was tragically murdered by a group of envy schoolboys on the 21st of may 2006 .Fu#k what a waste of talent, he was only 20 years.May his soul deeply rest in peace and may more talent rise from this poor village.
