Florence remembers fallen industry friends By Zama Nteyi Florence Masebe.
VETERAN actress Florence Masebe has penned a tribute to her industry friends Menzi Ngubane and Noxolo “Noxee” Maqhashalala, who died at the weekend.
In two different Twitter threads, she explained how she knew them and how it felt working with them.
Speaking about her relationship with Menzi, she recalled how they used the same transport to go to the
Generations set, and how they teased each other about their roles on television.
