He distinguished himself in drama at Lozikeyi Primary School and Mthwakazi Boys’ Club in Nguboyenja Township. He used to play the role of King Shaka of the Zulu Kingdom of South Africa. In later life, whenever I wanted to send him into emotional orbit, I would recite to him over the phone, the Zulu war cries which he used to chant with such vim and vigour in the early 1960s,” he added.The late Masunda was born in a family of 11 — six girls and five boys.He is survived by wife Mildred Maidei Masunda and three grown-up children, Lindiwe, Tamirira Andrew and Sekai Lindsay.
