Henry Cele Tribute

I remember watching the movie Shaka Zulu and watching the actor Henry Cele. His dark eyes that seem to capture it's viewers and make you feel a connection with him. A wonderful talented actor. You have made us proud! Forever you will live on. I salute you great genius.

Mr. Cele was the kind of Man, Actor, Presence and Human Being that made you ask; WHO IS THAT? WHITE OR BLACK some people just grab your attention and Henry Cele was that powerful a force! What a loss.

I remember when the series aired on PBS in the early 80's, but wasn't able to see it as we lived in the country and couldn't pick up the signal. But, thanks to Netflix, I was finally able to see his fine performance as the African king and legend. I was so sorry to hear he has passed on. My sympathies to his family, and you should be so very proud of his legend!

I am so glad to see a padre devoted to this man. I remember watching Chaka Zulu on tv when it originally aired in America in the 80's...not to long after I'd just studied Chaka Zulu as well as other great Kings & Queens of Africa in University. It was refreshing to see such strength & intelligence displayed in a tv role played by a Black (African) male at that time. He became my teen idol and I've been in love every since. Now I have my OWN African male who also exhibits such strength. My African love is Yoruba but manifest the same strength & intelligence that Mr cele modeled in that role for me as a youth. I thank both Mr Cele and my own father for that!!
Mr Cele you & your talent are truly missed!!!
I wish UE family a Happy New Year!

i watched SHAKA ZULU on netflex. when ever it comes on,i have stop everything. i was very shocked, to hear about mr.cele passing.rest in paradis.

I only found out today of his passing. I have Shaka Zula on VHS and pull it out every couple of years and watch the entire thing. I is truly one of my favorite mini series. I thought it was about time I purchased it on DVD and went to Amazon.com, I have come close to doing this before. For some reason I just decided to google his name just to see what he had been up to. I had no idea he had passed away and such a while back. An unforgettable performance, an extraordinary actor. Absolute gorgeous to watch in that movie as well. Saddened by some of the other things written which may have been troubling him. So glad that many in his homeland hold him in such high regard. May he rest in peace.
