Durban comedian Melvyn David passed away in
the early hours of Thursday morning (December 14, 2017), following an accident
on the N2 South-bound.
The 32-year-old from Sherwood was best
known as the 'funny guy' of The Dingalings Productions team.
His younger brother, Darshan Naidoo told
POST the family is still reeling from shock after receiving the news.
It is believed David was involved in an accident
with a truck.
"It all happened so suddenly, we were
at a church event at The Embassy Church in Sherwood.
"Melvyn had written the script for the
play. After church he had spent time with some friends, and had later left to
drop off a family friend in Phoenix.
"Whilst returning to our home in
Sherwood, we believe the accident occurred."
He described his older brother as an icon.
"We have been inundated with calls
from people sharing their messages of condolences or to find out if he is
playing a bad joke on them.
"Also the social media posts has been
over-whelming. It is evident that my brother was loved by many and that he will
never be forgotten."
Funeral arrangements will be announced
soon.
Kumseela Naidoo, director at The Dingalings
Production posted on Facebook: It is with the heaviest heart and greatest
sadness that we face the news that our beautiful Melvyn Davids passed on in an
accident this morning.
