PATRICK SHAI’S INTENTIONS
GBV activist Botlhale Modisane – who is from the Tshegofatso Pule Foundation and a close friend to the 57-year-old actor Patrick Shai has shared the actor’s last days with Sunday World.
Modisane told the publication that the actor was misunderstood and that he passed away a broken man before he hanged himself in his garage at his home in Dobsonville, Soweto.
Modisane who worked with The River actor at the Tshegofatso Pule Foundation said Shai was troubled towards the end.
He tried to reach out to rapper Cassper Nyovest to explain the meaning behind the viral video and that he meant no harm.
Shai challenged the rapper to a boxing match and later apologised when things didn’t go to plan.
He apologised on social media but still wanted to speak to Nyovest personally.
According to Modisane Shai challenged the rapper to a match so that he can raise funds for anti-gbv organisations.

“I was called by his son to come to their house quickly and when I got there I could not believe what I saw.”
“Molefe Shai is no more. Motlogolo, as I used to fondly call him, and he would respond by saying Rakgolo, is but now a memory.”
“Motlogolo is one great thespian this country has ever produced.”
“My memory of him is his performances in the play Sophiatown.”
“I was inspired by it to strive to be in his league.”
