Mthethwa released a statement on Monday morning, following the passing of veteran actor, Sam Phillips, in the early hours of Saturday morning at the age of 72.

"Dr Phillips set a benchmark of true excellence. He was a humble practitioner whose work ethic spoke volumes of his commitment to his craft. In his 40-year career, he played a key role in driving transformation within the acting space. He was an icon with many achievements and titles but to his family, who are in our thoughts today. He was a loving father, grandfather, husband and friend," writes Mthethwa in the statement.
