The recent funeral of the late actor Presley Chweneyagae brought out some heartfelt and honest reflections, especially from his close friend and fellow actor Warren Masemola.
While celebrating Presley’s life, Warren didn’t shy away from sharing some candid thoughts about the struggles Presley faced, including his love of partying and the influence of some less-than-helpful friends.
Warren Masemola Opens Up About Friendship and Tough Love
At Presley’s funeral on Saturday, 7 June, Warren Masemola spoke openly about their friendship.
He shared that although they were close, they often argued about what really mattered — prioritizing family over distractions and bad company.
Warren said something many can relate to: “My friend and I fought a lot.
I don’t understand people who don’t fight with their friends and the people who they love.”
He went on to recall a particular incident when he had to go all the way to Pretoria to pick Presley up because, as Warren put it, Presley was “being a nuisance.”
Apparently, Presley had been avoiding him, but Warren eventually found him at a popular Pretoria groove called Stasie Kombuis, hanging out with friends who weren’t exactly the best influence.
Warren’s message was clear: “You owe it to yourself to talk to the one you love and say, ‘Please, you have children at home. Go home. Your family needs you.’”
