Understandably, the world of comedy has been shaken by Dibakwane's death.

In reflecting on the legacy of his dear friend, Dibakwane's manager, Tabitha Forrest, noted, "He grew so much over years. We started working with him at the age of 22. Just to see him develop and to see the talent that came out was phenomenal.

"I've taken these past few days to look back at some of the auditions he sent me, and honestly, he was so good at what he did. I don't think anybody could match his talent.

She added: "I found him very affectionate with me. There were many times that he would say that he felt like we were a part of his family, which was great.

"Very often I would wake up and get like a 5am heart from him on my WhatsApp, completely out of the blue ... He really did make people feel good, and, sadly, we couldn't help him a little bit more."

Award-winning comedian Chris Forrest, who mentored Dibakwane early in his career, reminisced about their first encounter during a kumasi challenge: "I saw him way back when he was doing a kumasi competition and I was convinced he was great and I still think he was destined to go on and do more great things."

Chris said that Dibakwane was a "warm and caring person".

"He possibly overthought things a lot and was probably far too clever for most of us, but he always made you feel good about yourself.

"He had a unique ability, he had this way of doing anti-comedy, but he did it in such a way that people who weren't aware that he was doing it, still found it funny, which I thought was amazing ... He wanted to change the world and make it a better place through his comedy, that was his big thing. He was unique."

"I think he has left a massive Ebenhaezer-size hole in the comedy industry. Everyone who knew him loved him. He was also loads of fun; sometimes it was mischievous fun, sometimes it was good-clean fun, but he will be sorely missed ...

"To the best of my knowledge, he was seeing a therapist, he did speak about it a lot. He will be sorely missed."
