The Zimbabwean cameraman Ray Chifamba (33) known as Ray Ceeh who was also a singer-songwriter has been murdered in Lentegeur in Cape Town after he was shot in the neck on Wednesday night in his vehicle.
Siyabulela Malo, police spokesperson says Ray Ceeh was killed around 22:43 in Maartbloom Steet in Lentegeur in Mitchells Plain with a murder investigation that is underway.
"Lentegeur police responded to a complaint and upon their arrival noticed a white vehicle that had driven into the wall at the mentioned address. It was apparent that the victim was about to drop passengers in the area when three unknown men approached his vehicle and fired one shot to his neck and he lost control of the vehicle".
Ray Ceeh was about to drop passengers when three unknown men shot him.
Ray Ceeh worked at Durham Studios in Woodstock and released his first music video this year and also produced his own podcast show, The Ray Show.
Ray Ceeh who moved from Zimbabwe to South Africa previously worked for the Muslim lifestyle channel Deen Channel (StarSat 265) as a cameraman.
"He was the life of our office and brought smiles to the faces of many," said Faizal Sayed, Deen Channel CEO. "He was determined and a hard worker. He always wanted to be someone in life and his life was unfortunately cut short."
"He came to SA from Zimbabwe as a very talented person. He always wanted to help his mother. He produced music, he sang very well. I haven't been able to work all morning, we are all shattered by the news," said Faizal Sayed.
"There is no justification. He saw South Africa as an outlet for him to be somebody and make a future here. It's a disgrace that his life was taken here."
