1986 saw the birth of Busi Lurayi in South Africa. She was a well-known actress from the films Wild at Heart (2006), How to Ruin Christmas (2020), and City Ses’la (2005). On July 10, 2022, in Thembisa, Gauteng, South Africa, she passed away.
According to her agency, Busi Lurayi, a teenage actress from South Africa who played Tumi in the Netflix family comedy How to Ruin Christmas, has passed away. Her age was in the mid-30s.
Lurayi “passed away suddenly and was pronounced dead at her residence on Sunday by medical personnel,” according to Eye Media Artists. While we wait for the autopsy report’s findings, the cause of her death is still a mystery.
How to Ruin Christmas: The Wedding, a three-part series produced in South Africa in 2020, follows Lurayi’s character as she wrecks what should have been her sister Beauty Sello’s (Thando Thabe) picture-perfect wedding before attempting to put things right.
The second season of the show How to Ruin Christmas: The Funeral Lurayi made a comeback last year.
She starred as Thandi in the 2007 ITV series Wild at Heart, which followed a British family as they moved to South Africa to build an animal hospital and restore a game reserve for wild animals.
She previously appeared in the South African sitcom City Ses’la and NBC’s ER.
“An incredible light has gone out in the South African entertainment industry,” stated Netflix South Africa in a statement. The loss of award-winning theater and film performer Busi Lurayi saddens us greatly. We’ll never forget the smiles, the laughter, and the happy times she gave us.
