Cape Town – South African actor James Alexander has died.
His wife, Anel, confirmed the news on Facebook on Saturday.
She said that James, who died on Friday, was diagnosed with head and neck cancer in January 2019.
He was 45.
“It was his wish to keep his fight private until he was ready to share it. He was unfortunately not granted that opportunity, but his legacy will live on, as one does not go through the fire unchanged,” she said.
James was known for his films Discreet, Semi-Soet and the internationally acclaimed Sink.
“To say my heart is broken would not do justice to the 22 years we spent together. This year I’ve crossed a rubicon: I’ve spent more of my life with you, than without. I can not imagine having to do life without you by my side. You were my first love, my best friend, my work-buddy, travel-buddy, there’s-something-in-your-teeth-buddy,” said Anel.
